We are living in a season when political power cloaks itself in religious garments, and the name of God is invoked to sanctify partisan agendas. The current administration has leaned heavily into Christian imagery: the president sharing memes about being “on a mission from God,” official White House communicators declaring his presidency was “ordained,” and cabinet members staging highly publicized acts of prayer as official state functions. Trump’s own “spiritual advisor” even compared him to Jesus.
To many onlookers, these gestures may appear as bold faith in the public square. But we need to ask harder questions: What god is being invoked? Which kingdom is being announced?
