What a holiday! This Easter, America witnessed a radical difference in how presidents talk about faith, and the world woke up the next day to learn the Pope had died.
BIG IDEA: How leaders lead on faith matters.
My top 3 takeaways this week, as we navigate the news:
1. TRUMP EASTER VS. BIDEN EASTER
Elections matter. President Joe Biden used the Easter holiday to celebrate “transgender visibility day.” President Trump used his platform to speak about the life, death, and resurrection of Christ. A welcome change!
2. EVEN THE POPE NEEDS A SAVIOR
Our prayers go out to the Catholic community upon news of Pope Francis’ death. Whether a pope or Billy Graham, whether Catholic or Protestant, we will all face God one day – and it won’t be our church or denomination that saves us. Only Jesus.
3. CHOOSE YOUR FAITH LEADERS WISELY
The Bible teaches that true love hates evil and rejoices in truth. As Catholics move into a season of choosing the next pope, let us pray they choose someone willing to speak the truth in love.
