In this video, I tackle a question I hear often: “If it weren’t for Donald Trump, would you still be open to the rest of what the GOP/MAGA movement stands for?”

I used to think *yes*. But after 2016, the marriage between the religious right and MAGA woke me up—especially when I saw even “Christian” leaders abandon their convictions overnight.

That’s when James 1:27 broke me open:

“Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress *and* to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.” (NIV)

This verse dismantles the pseudo‑Christian approach to politics—not only MAGA’s religious posture, but also my own old assumptions. It shows that real Christianity is about caring for the marginalized and preserving personal holiness—not imposing moral laws or seizing power.

If you're questioning what Christian politics looks like in a polarized world—or if you’ve ever wondered whether faith should shape voting—this video is for you.
