A Book For A Time Such As This

With each passing day in America the national news seems to test our threshold of political tolerance. If we are honest there’s a lot coming at us and it keeps coming faster and faster. For those who have to stand behind the sacred desk to preach to anxious ears, I would ask that you consider reading my book Politically Preaching.

In this era of intense polarization, understanding how leaders can manipulate belief systems, religion, and morality to gain power is more crucial than ever. In this book I try to offer insights into these dynamics that are especially relevant when examining the influence of figures like Trump and Musk on modern politics and culture.

Now more than ever a need for “preaching” that speaks to the politics of our current condition is necessary if we are to empower our people to stand up for justice. Reading Politically Preaching during the “Trump-Elon era” can offer a thought-provoking perspective for one’s preaching. It may also give insight on how to speak to issues related to understanding political rhetoric. Trump and Musk are both known for their unconventional communication styles. Trump’s rallies and Elon’s Twitter (now X) presence often blur the line between business, politics, and personal branding. My analysis of what it means to “preach politically” can help you better understand the rhetoric and strategic messaging behind these figures’ public personas.

Both Trump and Musk have cultivated strong anti-establishment personas, which resonate with a populist base. Politically Preaching will help illuminate the historical and social forces that drive such populist movements, providing a deeper understanding of why figures like Trump and Musk attract such a loyal following, while putting into context the need for an even louder prophetic witness.

The Black Preacher and the Black People in the pews are a powerful political force.

Lastly, my hope is that you will have a better sense of what is at stake in your political engagement of local leaders. By focusing on the often disingenuous and manipulative encounters during campaign cycles you will be better able to recognize how political figures leverage the following; religion, social movements, and moral stances for their own personal or ideological gain. Given the rise in “culture wars” in recent months, including debates over free speech, cancel culture, and the role of big tech, Politically Preaching can open you to reflect on how these politicians are using such issues to their personal advantage.

I strongly recommend you order a copy of this uniquely timed publication, if you’re interested in the intersection of politics, faith, and the role of influential personalities in shaping the current cultural moment, reading Politically Preaching could offer a timely and critical perspective.
