As a Christian on the left, far removed from the white nationalists on the extreme right, this is also among the very best sermons I’ve ever heard. I was raised in the fundamentalist Baptist Church, and I’ve seen, and long left that very dangerous and damaging toxic environment.
@everthealtruist you know nothing of christianity. You just like this man because he basically says God is all love and the only law is "do what thou wilt"
James Talarico is an elected representative in Texas, for the Democratic Party. He has so far been able to thwart those two Texan billionaire “pastors” from succeeding in their attempts to get rid of public schools by implementing a voucher system. The voucher system takes the public school boards’ budget and proposes to pay out a per-student amount to each student, rather than continuing to fund public schools. The wealthy people who are already sending their children to private ‘Christian’ schools [where the curriculum is Christian Nationalism, a political movement, not a religion] don’t need the money, but the public schools sure do. So it’s basically a steal-from-the-poor to give-to-the-rich scheme. These billionaire ‘pastors’ want to dumb down any kids who are not wealthy, by impoverishing their schools thus eroding the quality of the education they can get, and mold the wealthy children into hate-mongering Christian Nationalist Soldiers who will keep those rich men in power in their positions of power. The poorly educated students won’t be able to reach higher education, and won’t be able to afford to get something or somewhere better for themselves. They’ll be the cheap labor billionaires and greedy corporations need to get rich and richer. It’s insidious and evil. Texas needs James Talarico fighting that good fight for them, now more than ever.
@@wilsontexas no, the pastor is simply saying to LOVE THY NEIGHBOR AS THYSELF... y'know, kinda like that Jesus character commanded his people to do. We aren't the authorities on other people's choices, if you believe in an afterlife, that's your respective god's job.
Very good speech, i am not a Christian but it's delightful to hear someone's in phase with spiritual reality. I predict James a beautiful Future and career offering peaceful Words.
Great sermon. African American churches have been praying for our White brothers and sisters to understand that Nationalism in the church is not of Christ. Thank you for telling the truth.
I am a veteran and a former pastor at a mega church in the South. I walked away from evangelical Christianity and embraced an engaged contemplative life, and I have not been able to listen to a Christian sermon for the past seven years. I listened to this one and stand with every word this brother speaks. I’m in awe of his clarity and bravery in the face of Christian Nationalism and I pray for more leaders of faith to stand with him.
Romans 1:26-27 For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature.Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due. This guy is a nut. I am an Evangelical Christian. Jesus sets people free from crazy anti-Biblical ideas like I found in this sermon.
It's anti-biblical to spread hate and use violence and force to get your way. In fact The reason Sodom and Gomorrah was destroyed was for gluttony, greed,😂 selfishness, lack of compassion and empathy for others along with the host of all other sins by which the Bible says, all are equal.
Haven't gone to church for years. Stopped listening to organized religion after years of seeing the hate and greed that permeates the church. I have found a person who sees Christ as the Bible presents Him. Thank you sir.
After six years of seminary, listening to some of the top preachers in the world, and ten years teaching religious studies, I can honestly say this may be the best, truest and most Christian sermon I have ever heard.
As a Christian appalled by Christian Nationalism, this message is so on target. Thank you, thank you for articulating so well that this destructive movement has NOTHING to do with Jesus' teachings, and everything to do with these people's corruption of the faith.
So a Christian isn't supposed to love his country I thought our founding fathers were all Christians and praying before they wrote the Constitution remember the term Christian nationalism has nothing to do with Christians who love their country and want Law and Order
Christian nationalism is another attack on real Christianity! In the form of a new age religiosity! And the word woke should mean awakened to the truth! The truth is Christ and the word of God! 🙏🎆⚖️
I've been a pastor for 25 years, and it's draining watching people misuse the good news of Christ to justify hate. Your words have actually restored some hope in me. Thank you.
So many pastors have given up their faith in these trying times, and the prosperity pastors are a sign of Christian Nationalists. Very dangerous. Always put Jesus first, he will always be by your side. Jesus loves us because of who we are, not because of wealth, popularity.
@ALBUNDY-r9bDid you heat hom say that Christian Nationalists excludes Jesus in heir doctrine. They are only there for power. Not Christianity! Listen to what he said ,I know you didn't because your comment would not have been what you said. You should have said the GQP wouldn't understand!
@ALBUNDY-r9bNo, it is the Republicans that is confused. We know church and state are separate. What does the living body of Christ have to do with a world system? Why put the church and politics together. The kkk would murder a black and hang their body on the wooden cross. They are confused they are killing in the name of Jesus. It is not about Democrats or Republicans. It is about the gospel of Jesus Christ. I live to fulfil the will of my creator.
Hopefully we can get this guy over to our side. He said a lot of interesting things preacher don’t usually say. However, he said a lot of silly things too. One can disown Christian nationalism, but it’s hard to separate. A preacher loving the lgbtq and being pro choice and thinks the universe is older than 6,000 years and supports evolution… Christians have a term for this, and it goes like this, “luke warm”. The tribalism is too great. I’m glad someone is bridging the gap. However I’m an atheist and there will always be fundamentalist. There will always be the question; where is the evidence? Why should anyone believe something that’s not evidently true?
I've heard Christian friends of mine refer to Christian Seminary as Christian Cemetery, probably for that reason. I think this man sounds like he might survive it.
Truth is like pouring acid on the Devil. This young Pastor is speaking the truth, and every leader of every faith should be brave enough to speak this truth. Thank you.
James Talarico, I am Buddhist and totally shaken by the beauty, intelligence, articulation, inclusiveness, compassion, love, foresight, respect, humbleness, depth, value, …. of this speech of yours.

My church growing up The United Church of Christ at Dartmouth in Hanover NH Was very liberal, they had a woman as minister way back in 80s , and preached openness to gay live etc My dad a Nixon republican was outraged, of course, stopped going to his own loss.
Exact same. Grew up in the Tuscaloosa area as a Southern Baptist. Learning more about my religion drove me further from it. He's likely going to leave the church after seminary. If he doesn't, he'll have to pull mental gymnastics of his own to make it all fit together. Seminary is where you learn the actual facts of the origins of the religion. None of it matches up with what the church teaches. Israelites and Canaanites were the exact same people, for one.
On mobile so I can't edit my comment, but I highly recommend "Satan's Guide to the Bible". Besides being hilarious, it's so grounded in actual fact that it's refreshing. It takes the classic "preaching to children", but it's "Satan" telling them the truth.
@@Zargabaath Your book recommendation reminds me of a book by Anne Rice called Memnoch the Devil. It's not based on facts, but it paints Satan as the good guy. I absolutely loved it. I should read it again. I'll also look up Satan's Guide to the Bible. Thanks for the suggestion.
I am a Buddhist in practice and this sounds like something an Enlightened Being would say. He speaks with the clear, pithy instructions of one that is truly in sync with the way things are. This is Dharma. This is Tao. This is real Christianity. This is the Truth of Jesus. This man speaks with ease. His sincere & humble character shows through his words, a deep knowing or understanding. What a gift to politics. Thank you James. Thank you for who you are and what you're doing. Please keep doing it, this world needs you and others like you. Even more so these days. What a gift!

As the daughter of an Episcopal priest and an Episcopalian, I have heard thousands of sermons in 67 years. This is, by far, one of the best sermons I have ever heard. ❤✝️
100% agree. As a daughter of a Presbyterian Pastor and generation of ministers and missionaries, I too have heard so many sermons. This is one of the best sermons indeed. Amen and amen!
I am a Charismatic Roman Catholic and this sermon gives me peace that there are still REAL Christians out there!!! Jesus preached love and acceptance! Love is the way!
@@dianesmith5152 thank you for showing appreciation to a protestant christian. We may differ in what and how things should be but at the end of the day, things are just symbols of this world and to God it is the spiritual power that counts

This is what Christianity is all about. I’m not religious anymore, but I was raised Christian and to see what it’s perverted to today is sickening. Where did all the love go? It’s all hate these days, so sad.

@@jamie1682 Matthew 10:34-39 contains some of Jesus' most challenging words. As usual, they can be easily misinterpreted when taken out of context. Christ's arrival in the world will bring division to Israel, as even family members turn on each other over the issue of whether He is the Messiah. Jesus says those who love family more than Him are not worthy of Him. He further heightens this idea of radical loyalty by comparing it to carrying one's own cross: a metaphor for death. Those who do follow Him, though, will find the life that is true. Those who go their own way will lose their lives, no matter what they find on earth. This passage follows Jesus' instructions to the Twelve as they prepare to spread the gospel (Matthew 10:5-7). You are cherry picking scripture to force it to say and mean what you think it should mean. Don’t take scripture out of context.
@@realBeltalowda what is challenging is preaching the Gospel today and not being hated by even our loved ones. Jesus and the Apostles faced it unto death. Soon that will be the fate of those who speak the truth in love to those who seek only those who tickle their ears.
I'm a born-again gay stoner Jew and know I'll be with Jesus before one right-wing hater. ❤ keep looking up, our redemption draws near! Luke 21:24-28. 1946themovie proves the Bible is mistranslated.
I'm a retired ORDAINED MINISTER & I stopped going to church when the old paster retired after 40 YRS & the new one started preaching tRUMP AT THE PULPIT! I DON'T NEED A CORRUPT CHURCH TO DO ANYTHING FOR ME!
You took the words right out of my mouth because I feel exactly the same way. I’m just thrilled to hear someone actually speaking truth about Christian nationalism because so many people don’t understand what it is.
I am the granddaughter of a Nazarene preacher who grew up in a strict Nazarene family. I listened to hundreds sermons about hell fire and brimstone that left me feeling fearful and guilty. Once I left my parents' home, I never went to church again. Now I cannot understand the hypocrisy of my family calling themselves Christians while supporting a movement that spreads hate, power, and lies. Thank you for giving me back some hope in Christianity.
Your family and friends supporting the evils spoken here, have "drank the Kool-aid " of cultism. Just like other cults, it is almost impossible to help the cult members of Trump and National Christianity due to the power of Satan. They all need an exorcism or two and lots of prayer to the God of Abraham, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit! for release of these demons. AMEN?
When the people said to worship Satan(Satanists in general), end up being better people than the ones said to worship God and Jesus, you know somerhing is fucked up with Christianity.
I walked away from religion many many years ago because of nationalism. I stumbled across this and decided to listen to this sermon and I'm thankful I did. I've been longing to hear the truth and this man has touched me in a way organized religion never has. Thank you for your comforting words!!!
100% same. If Christianity were like this everywhere, I cannot see how folks (like me) would ‘nope out’ at the levels they/we have. Peace, love, service, caring for one another. All universal principles that resonate with my heart.
@@logicrealitytruth I think you need to actually open your Bible and read it instead of just using it as a prop to hold up as you spread your message of hate and exclusion. Because it seems you don't understand who it is you claim to worship. If you did know who Jesus was and what his message actually was you wouldn't say what you just said. In case you're not aware, which you obviously aren't, the most important thing to Jesus was that we love our fellow man/woman no matter what nationality, race or religion they are. Not do everything in our power to suppress the rights of everyone who doesn't look like us, worship like us, love who we think they should, vote like we do, come from the same place we do. People like you want to force your beliefs on everyone else and control everything we do, say or think. The type of Christianity that you seem to consider, "true" Christianity is nothing more than a bastardization of Jesus word and theft of his name to utilize in an effort to control the lives of others while claiming moral superiority when in actuality that form of religion has little to nothing to do with Christ. Christ would've called you out and rebuked you for your sense of false pride just as he rebuked the Pharisees for the same sense of moral superiority they exhibited in claiming to know the will of God while getting the message all wrong. Jesus died for the sins of all people. Including Heretics much like yourself who used the name of God to claim to have the right to tell others that they are sinful while ignoring the plank in their own eyes. I truly hope that before you meet him that you come to understand just how wrong you are and repent for your false use of his name to spread a message of hate and division and beg for forgiveness for bastardizing his message for your own hateful, ignorant desires. This most definitely was a true Christian sermon. Far more true to what true Christianity looks like than anything you're likely to hear from any White Christian Nationalist preacher. Shame on you. And just something to think about before I let you go. The book of revelations says that you shall know them by the mark of the beast which they shall wear upon their foreheads. Can anybody say Red hats sporting MAGA?
If this young man can entice non believers like myself to listen to his entire sermon, I suspect believers should experience a life change. Christian Nationalism turns people away from church and religion. James is a remarkable speaker.
I’m a Muslim I’m also a Palestinian I grew up on my ancestors land in what became Israel until I was forced to migrate. I have an Israeli passport. I now live in the USA .I have countless Christian and Jewish friends from back home and the US. I Have Seen It All. Your words are an elixir to my crushed soul. Assalamu Alaikum everyone ( peace to all)
I want to cry. My heart is with the Palestinians. I know that Israel illegally took your land inch by inch. I know that Netanyahu is evil just like Christian Nationalists are evil. There is only one God of all mankind who only wants us to love and help each other. We are all brothers and sisters even though there are many who don't believe that this is the case. God only has one law, love others. This is how I know who knows God and who is just lying. God bless you, brother.
I accepted Jesus as my savior at the age of 10. I'm now going on 73, still loving & following His teaching through the spirit in His Word. My heart has been breaking at the politicization of my faith by Christian Nationalists. Their message is an abomination that endangers believers everywhere.

I grew up Southern Baptist, converted to Catholicism. I am now happily an Athiest but THIS man i will speak highly of and pass on his sermons to others because HE IS RIGHT!
I grew up Southern Baptist too. But stopped going when I started noticing that it was becoming more and more political until every time I went, someone would get up at the pulpit and preach politics. At that point, it becomes something other than a place to worship God and follow Jesus, and it becomes a political social group. I still worship God, and I try to pray every day. I read Christian books. But I don't want to be a part of a RW social group. I just can't stomach it. I could go to this church though. Yes. This is political on the other end. But there needs to be an alternative to the RW social club. And we must call the evil that has crept into our churches, out.
Agree, a million times over. I actually hesitated sharing this on my social media, bc I'm very much an atheist, but if Christians acted and felt like this gentleman, it could be a game changer for the US. There's so much commonality with what I think and feel and how I view my fellow human beings.
I also was raised Baptist till I was ten and I refused to go anymore. In my later teens after marrying ,I tried it again. Nope,what I remembered from a child was the same. I believe in all this young man said and if I had had some one like him? I might ,say might, have followed. But my long years have and what I have seen and heard took that from me.
(Tears)...I needed to hear this. I'm grateful to James for reigniting my faith. He is powerful in his calm speech. I've watched his work in Texas legislature & have been impressed in his work there. The dude is awesome!
I'm a Christian and my father was a Christian minister. He preached of God's love and care for our fellow human beings. He would be APPALLED as am I if he were still alive to see how these Christian nationalists are trying to take over and for what they stand for.
Same for me!! My father would have a “fit” over all of this!! Several churches in our area are in line with this pastor. They are spreading the word that Christian nationalists are not, in fact, acting as Christ would have us act!
Thank you for your comment. Our family is so appalled with the today’s Christians and that is why we left the church. We still believe in Christ. But we cannot be associated with those hate and bigotry.
Their are some real Christians who seen to know the truth about the takeover of their religion, by the people who favor forcing others to their one way of beliefs.

My sister, I believe that Jesus was an Orthodox Jew. He was a Yanuka then a wisdom filled rabbi whether or not He was the Messiah. I learned that the Orthodox Jews in Israel believe the same things that Jesus taught. I watched this on the Wandering Nomad channel on TH-cam.

Whether it is someone's religious belief or what they like to do when the lights go out, people should keep private things private, I'm Christian but I've literally never tried to push my beliefs on anyone, and I'm not going to let anyone push their opinions on me, I don't think that's too much to ask, so if a guy in a dress thinks he's a woman good for him, but I'm not going to go along with the fantasy, it doesn't make me a bad person it makes me realistic, and I consider that a fair trade-off since I don't try to force people to believe in an all-powerful being that can't be seen, it's only fair that other people don't try to force me to address them as a woman when they're a dude
@@LabGoats what discrimination? If I'm at work and one of them comes in I treat them the same as any other customer, I asked him what they want and I'll give it to him and I take their money, but I'm not going to call a dude a chick just because it hurts their feelings, that's not discrimination that's reality... expecting a guy to stay out of women's sports and women's bathrooms is not asking too much, and it's more of a cultural thing anyway, speak to most transsexuals of older generations and they've got more common sense about this, I can respect someone that's a guy that says he feels like a woman and he wants to live his life as a woman but he understands he's a guy in the world sees him as such, I don't respect anything that comes from the far left,
I've been a Christian for a long time and this is one of the best sermons I have ever heard. Thank you James! Continue to stay true to the gospel of Jesus Christ.
I'm not a Christian but I watched this whole sermon and I have to say it's comforting knowing that there are still Christians that follow what the book actually says. Thank you and may your God bless you always.

Others hang out together but we were never invited to hang out with anyone. I did message with the pastor’s wife a lot but I’ve cut back on that. I’m not saying they aren’t good people. But I have decided to leave the “institutional church system.” It got to where it seemed fake to me. I would like to have a home church but I need someone who can teach. I would like someone who can teach verse by verse. Not tell story after story. I am happier tho, not stressing about getting there on time or people being nosey about why we weren’t there, didn’t attend the manmade revival, and the list goes on and on. We are taking Sundays to spend time as a family since my husband is at work from 10 am to midnight most days. Saturdays he has to cut the grass and do chores around our home. The kids need time with him. I didn’t mean to go on and on. lol!
I am a Unitarian Universalist minister, and this was the sermon I have tried and tried to give -- and now at last I know what it would sound like. My God. Theologically, sociologically ... absolutely every word of it rings true. I was brought to tears by the love in James's thinking -- the words were brilliant, but the thinking is almost other-worldly. Enlightened Being, as a Buddhist here commented. I felt like Pastor-to-be Talarico fit the whole world into this talk. I'm grateful to my wife for sharing it with me.
You expressed my thoughts exactly. I have never heard anyone speak like this. This is uniting and will bring people to Christ. I am about ready to move to wher ever he will be preaching. This is what I learned about Jesus. He accepted everyone as they were.
As long as we are NOT deceived in told not to worship. I too am tired of Churches incorporating Politics at the pulpit vs listening about the Gospel. This is so beautiful, bc too many of us are lost as we yearn for our Gospel.
I'm Jewish, proudly, but I thank you for your powerful words. I'm hopeful there are many more Christians that believe as you. I've never been as afraid for my country and the world. Please keep preaching these words!
@@NikkiVandaI'm afraid not. This man's God must be awfully small to need so much wisdom from false religions and Chance the Rapper. Jesus said "I am the Way, and the truth, and the life. No man comes to the Father, except by me." This man is a false teacher, likely an atheist who recognizes that materialism is inadequate. The purpose of church is to "dwell in the infinite", he says. His hearers are invited to conjure the meaning of the infinite themselves, rather than consult the very Scriptures that tell us who God is.
As a social justice advocate and a Catholic, this is hands down the best sermon/homily I've heard in years. Thank you for speaking the truth with conviction, yet kindly and confidently. I loved this sermon!
I'm a Pastor, and I have been discouraged by what I have seen among many who call themselves followers of Jesus Christ. It appears that many have lost their way in the call to be witnesses of Jesus, the salt, and the light. We were never called to be the hammer, but we are supposed to be the hand. Thank you for this message. It is great to hear that there are many who believe and share the Gospel of Jesus.

I am an atheist and my wife, who died in 2020, was a pagan and wiccan, with that being said, you had me crying not from sadness or grief, but rather for a feeling of love and warmth. You did not change me from my own beliefs, but you made me feel so much better about humanity and that there are people like you that preach the power and the joy and true love, thank you
@@matthewpaulson6497 So will the false Christian with false doctrines. God DESTROYS BODY AND SOUL, how would you spend eternity anywhere with neither? Study your bible again.
I'm agnostic, so this was the wonderful pleasure of being the first sermon I've ever listened to! I agree wholeheartedly with everything you said. I want nothing more than the best for my fellow human, regardless of their religious views. I'm so glad to see you speak out on an issue I've been growing more afraid of over the years, and it's so refreshing to see more religious people speak out against religious nationalism. This sermon reflected everything I envision a true religion would hold in their core values. It seems like you are part of a wonderful church and community, and I wish you and all your church-goers the absolute best. Let's continue to work together and make our time in this world the best that we can for each other. I will keep doing my part!
You picked a good one, well done! There are plenty of awesome Christians in the world, I promise. They're just not very political (Jesus said not to be) so they're far less visible than the dreadful ones.
Any sermon you agree wholeheartedly with is better left unsaid. Preachers don't exist to make people say "See, I am right and justified and good and excellent"
@@analogia_entis Well, since I wasn't at the sermon and I watched it on youtube, I'll agree with whatever I want do and discuss it in a space I want to.
As a Christian I think the title "Christian Socialist"is more accurate to describe what Christianity should be. For Jesus instructed the haves to take care of the have nots. Great sermon
This is a brilliant summation of what’s going on in this country with those that have decided to go along with the thought process of Christian Nationalism. I am so sad when I hear people I’ve gone to church with for years, spew such hatred towards anyone not looking or thinking like they do. Thank you for speaking on this issue!
My brother I join with you Sad and also angry and somewhat perplexed. But perhaps this is a result of Christians being unquestionably dependent on their leaders .

I left the church over 10 years ago because of the evils I witnessed within, but a message like this brings me hope that there are still TRUE Christians out there spreading love. I loved your sermon and will be subscribing to hear more of what you have to say.
This man has just talked about my church. I am a Catholic. My priest is a celibate gay man. We celebrate all we take in refugees. We help the homeless. We help the poor here and abroad. This man will make a great minister because he gets it.
I cry tears of joy to finally in my 67 years hear words that reflect what my soul has felt my whole life. I found a way to hold on to my love of Jesus and his message. They say THEY are the Christians and those like us are not. Your message is food for my soul and can save our country.
Thank you, thank you! I studied Classics in college and read the New Testament in Greek Koine, and I am so grateful to you for summarizing what I learned in those four years in the most concise and powerful way I have ever seen. Thank you beyond words. God bless.
I grew up Catholic, and rejected ALL churches at age 13. Over the following 43 years, I have maintained the open opinion that the highly visible and loud Christians are the furthest from being actual followers of Jesus. This has become even more painfully obvious since 9/11. Religion has always been used as a weapon. It truly hits me where I live to hear this man speak. He reminds me of my dad. Love is the answer.
Thank you ... Great message! I am scared of Christian Nationalism, and I love hearing one speak the truth. Hope to find you online one day as people like you are so rare today.

I'm a silly little woman with a Bachelor of Science degree who's been a Christian for almost 50 years, and I find this sermon a serious breath of fresh air. I'm absolutely appalled by the spectacle of so many Christians wildly cheering "leaders" who push ideas that are *directly antithetical to the teachings of Christ.* If you call yourself a Christian, but want to give Christ a "makeover" because the Good Shepherd just isn't "kick-@ss" enough to suit you, you have got a *problem.* Love of country is fine, but *God ALONE* deserves our worship. SHEESH!
I am a french atheist and I want to thank this preacher. I have never heard a speach like that and teach what believing in God really mean. It opened my mind. Thank you.
Just make sure it doesn't open so much, it gets closed...😊 faith like cool aid, comforting to drink but unhealthy in the long run no matter the flavor.
The entire country needs to hear your sermon. I too am so grateful you, a Christian, who is taking a public stand against Christian nationalists. Jesus says we are to love one another. Judgement is the Lord's and the Lords only. There is nothing in God's words about following Christian nationslism, unless, of course, you are a Pharisee. "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. “This is the first and great commandment. “And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself” (Matthew 22:37-39). God bless you and others speaking the truth against growing nationalism.
Did you know that the Nazis supported Christian Nationalism here in the US during the 1940's? WWII vets told us to never forget and too few listened. Very scary!
I’m the ex-Christian son of a devout born-again Christian Dad abd free-thinking Mom; this guy is the best parts of Christianity almost making me want to open the Bible again. I would vote for him if he ran for office, we need more folks like him, religious-minded or not, in the high seats of government
Can I ask what made u leave the love of Jesus? Was it a human? Jesus never stops loving u and never turns away from u. Turn back to him for ultimate peace and life❤️🙏🏼
Feel free to re-open that Bible. Evangelicals have spent centuries perverting the Word in order to control & oppress people. The real meaning & context you'll find in the Bible don't say anything remotely similar to what we hear evangelical pseudo Christians spouting. 💜
Wow... ❤😊👍 I have seen Republicans coming out to say they have never voted for a Democrat before, but this year Country is more important than Party, and they were lauded for their courage. But I think I've seen the bravest thing, when you came out and called Christian Nationalism the threat it is, that was amazing, no words can capture what you just did. And you did it fully with the message of Jesus. I look forward to hearing more from you as you walk this line.
Mr. Talarico: I am an atheist, but your sermon makes me wish I could believe. Thank you for speaking out against this scourge that is tearing our country apart. Thank you for the wisdom, sir. I needed to hear this today.
Please watch Lee Strobbels " the case for Christ" he too had been an atheist. A friend said "there are no true atheist only a person who can not forgive himself/herself." I believe it is true in my brother's case.
Christ isn’t a part of these zealots who defame his name. He was a renegade who fed the hungry, visited lepers in leper colonies and who loved all of God’s children without exception. You may be an atheist, which is your right, but those of us who worship a living God, love you without any expectation of you reciprocating our love. God will always consider you as a child of his no matter how you feel. Sending you prayers of compassion and acceptance.
I'm not religious because I'm Dutch. We are non-believers. But he is actually someone who doesn't praise the insane plague of "Christian nationalism." Such a relief. I like this guy. I even kind of like this god. Well spoken . Smart guy ❤
Thank you for that sermon. It is exactly what Christianity I was brought up in.......LOVE. I have been ashamed of our so called Christian society for the last several years for not standing up for what is right vs their republican politics. Excellent Sermon.
❤ Appreciate that. I grew up Christian myself and as i got older and into politics i knew something wasn’t aligning with my logic and the way the average church viewed things so i started to doubt wether christianity was the true way. At the same time i knew exactly that Jesus is love and the things he said as the golden rule perfectly fit with my views. So i would earlier in my life see myself as “less christian” but now i know, thx to ppl like Mr Talarico, that im just a more aware christian with a personal belief in Jesus and not thw fabricated church mass belief.
He gives you "hope" because His God demands absolutely nothing of you. If a father demanded absolutely nothing of his son, you wouldn't call it love, you would call it a troubling indifference, at best

@@justinvestyloving a neighbor is what God demands of us, not this trolling that you are doing. Do you think that makes you a strong Christian, to throw punches at a stranger who feels hopeful after hearing a sermon in favor of love? Please do not fashion Jesus after your nationalistic and exclusionary wishes.
Thank you so so much. I personally needed to hear this message from a white pastor/preacher speaking to a white congregation. This wicked, racist Christian nationalism is literally turning people away from true Christianity - especially many in the Black community. To us, it has felt like the Christian leaders that we respected, loved, followed, supported have unveiled their truth in supporting a man that is the pure antithesis to Jesus. It has rocked us and angered us. I believe this is Satan’s aim .. to sow confusion, rage, and dissension as he divides the flock and attempts to invalidate the Good News. My sincere prayer is that God covers you and protects you as you share a hugely-unpopular, truly Christ-like message in these dark and evil days. I pray that your boldness and courage increases even more and inspires other Christians to stand up for Jesus and the Word with equal bravery.
So if the messenger was brown black or other color you would not welcome or needed the message. Listen to how your words sound so almost racist. Yea lets agree with you jesus would not have opened your ears to hear his messsge if ot weren’t coming from a white man. Perhaps you have soul searching to reach. You have some white nationalism good luck cause prayers didn’t help you.
I was raised Christian, and it has turned me away, just as you said. I'm absolutely devastated and heartbroken about what is happening in this country.
He does not follow the Apostle Paul. Romans 1:26-27 NKJV [26] For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. [27] Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.
@@matthewpaulson6497shameful, the focus on hating certain groups who don’t align with your ways. They are among us, always will be, and should be loved, not hated. My beloved gay brother took his life so I won’t listen to this. Neither Paul nor Jesus would have hated him or wanted his suicide.
@@matthewpaulson6497 they may work for a minute amount of people. He had all of that “treatment.” The brain, the last frontier in the human body, is a literal guessing game with respect to meds and treatments. There are no tests, no measurable or quantifiable results in a living brain, no taking out or surgically examining the organ. Throw meds at it, see if anything sticks. See how sick or suicidal or manic they make the patient. Therapy and meds don’t help when you’re tormented past the point of return. It’s very sad and cruel. People break. We actually break, just like things and body parts do. And we are judged for it by those who’ve never come remotely close to even the the slightest whiff of it. Our truth denied, mocked. It’s an unbelievable hell to live. And yes I’m speaking for my brother and for me (totally heterosexual), hanging for ages on a micro-flake from that cliff.
I’m Gnostic leaning, I sincerely appreciate your work and truth. Thank you for upholding the truth of the story that’s shaped humanity in so many ways. May the universe be with you always.
As a Buddhist I respect Jesus and his servants like you!!! What a wonderful sermon to hear in such a time of darkness who uses name Jesus to spread hatred. Your sermon is a light which shines in the swampy darkness. Thank you so much for spreading love not hate. Sending positive vibes from Nepal.
Budhism cannot mix with Jesus Chrst. It’s emissible like water and oil. Buddhism is in direct contradiction to Islam and Christianity. Islam is in direct contradiction to Christ. Therefore, Islam and Buddiahm are works based religions -while Jesus Christ is the way, the truth and the life; there is no mixing of all the religions as a born again Christian. You are either a Christ-follower or not. That’s the end game to this all. One way to the Father is through Jesus Christ. Buddha can’t save. Muhammad or Allah can’t save. Only through the blood sacrafice on the cross of Jesus can someone be saved from eternal damnation. There is no either way even though there are some truths in Buddahism and Islam; nevertheless, they are works based religions with no savior. The tomb of Jesus Chrst was empty and He ascended to heaven. He conquered death. Muhammad’s grave was not empty. Buddha’s grave was not empty. Praise the Lord Jesus Christ -He is our only path to righteousness
@@LedByGrace Shakyamuni Buddha was trying to teach everyone is a Buddha. They just didn't know it. A Buddha is not a god. He became deified after he died. Nichiren Daishonin described it this way. --- You must never think that any of the eighty thousand sacred teachings of Shakyamuni Buddha’s lifetime or any of the Buddhas and bodhisattvas of the ten directions and three existences are outside yourself. Your practice of the Buddhist teachings will not relieve you of the sufferings of birth and death in the least unless you perceive the true nature of your life. If you seek enlightenment outside yourself, then your performing even ten thousand practices and ten thousand good deeds will be in vain. It is like the case of a poor man who spends night and day counting his neighbor’s wealth but gains not even half a coin. That is why the T’ien-t’ai school’s commentary states, “Unless p.4one perceives the nature of one’s life, one cannot eradicate one’s grave offenses.”2 This passage implies that, unless one perceives the nature of one’s life, one’s practice will become an endless, painful austerity. Therefore, such students of Buddhism are condemned as non-Buddhist. Great Concentration and Insight states that, although they study Buddhism, their views are no different from those of non-Buddhists. www.nichirenlibrary.org/en/wnd-1/Content/1
@@LedByGrace I think you do not understand the religions/philosophies of which you speak. For example, Buddhism isn't even a religion. It's a psychology, a way of living that fosters inner peace. The Buddha is revered but not worshipped. Islam and Christianity have many beliefs in common. I grew up a Southern Baptist Oklahoman and was married for 23 years to a Baptist preacher. I incorporate Buddhist teachings in my life. I have read the Koran. I think our religious role is to bless one another as we each travel our own path, searching for existential realization of what our life means.
😢😢😢😭😭😭😭😭 I’m not Baptist, but I am a Christian. I attend a non-denominational church. For a minute I thought, am I losing my mind or am I missing something? I’m so happy to hear, a non-black Christian minister speak truth to power. To speak the love of God over what’s happening in our country. I was just speaking to someone about history, and what happened during the Crusades. I spoke about the Racism, the homophobism, all the isms…My position, rhetoric church needs to do a better job, believers, ambassadors and disciples of Christ we need to do a better job.

Hi, given your mention of the Black Christian experience, could you explain your linkage between racism and homophobism/homophobia given that skin color, phenotype, and ethnicity are not described as sins in the Bible? Thanks for your help in clarifying.😊

James Talarico is an elected representative in Texas, for the Democratic Party. He has so far been able to thwart those two Texan billionaire “pastors” from succeeding in their attempts to get rid of public schools by implementing a voucher system. The voucher system takes the public school boards’ budget and proposes to pay out a per-student amount to each student, rather than continuing to fund public schools. The wealthy people who are already sending their children to private ‘Christian’ schools [where the curriculum is Christian Nationalism, a political movement, not a religion] don’t need the money, but the public schools sure do. So it’s basically a steal-from-the-poor to give-to-the-rich scheme. These billionaire ‘pastors’ want to dumb down any kids who are not wealthy, by impoverishing their schools thus eroding the quality of the education they can get, and mold the wealthy children into hate-mongering Christian Nationalist Soldiers who will keep those rich men in power in their positions of power. The poorly educated students won’t be able to reach higher education, and won’t be able to afford to get something or somewhere better for themselves. They’ll be the cheap labor billionaires and greedy corporations need to get rich and richer. It’s insidious and evil. Texas needs James Talarico fighting that good fight for them, now more than ever.
@@wilsontexas no, the pastor is simply saying to LOVE THY NEIGHBOR AS THYSELF... y'know, kinda like that Jesus character commanded his people to do. We aren't the authorities on other people's choices, if you believe in an afterlife, that's your respective god's job.

As a Christian appalled by Christian Nationalism, this message is so on target. Thank you, thank you for articulating so well that this destructive movement has NOTHING to do with Jesus' teachings, and everything to do with these people's corruption of the faith.

So many pastors have given up their faith in these trying times, and the prosperity pastors are a sign of Christian Nationalists. Very dangerous. Always put Jesus first, he will always be by your side. Jesus loves us because of who we are, not because of wealth, popularity.

Yes.
This is a beautiful sermon that is hopeful and filled with love.
@ALBUNDY-r9bNo, it is the Republicans that is confused. We know church and state are separate. What does the living body of Christ have to do with a world system? Why put the church and politics together. The kkk would murder a black and hang their body on the wooden cross. They are confused they are killing in the name of Jesus.

Was very liberal, they had a woman as minister way back in 80s , and preached openness to gay live etc

Exact same. Grew up in the Tuscaloosa area as a Southern Baptist.
Learning more about my religion drove me further from it. He's likely going to leave the church after seminary. If he doesn't, he'll have to pull mental gymnastics of his own to make it all fit together.
Seminary is where you learn the actual facts of the origins of the religion. None of it matches up with what the church teaches.
Israelites and Canaanites were the exact same people, for one.
On mobile so I can't edit my comment, but I highly recommend "Satan's Guide to the Bible". Besides being hilarious, it's so grounded in actual fact that it's refreshing.
It takes the classic "preaching to children", but it's "Satan" telling them the truth.
@@Zargabaath Your book recommendation reminds me of a book by Anne Rice called Memnoch the Devil. It's not based on facts, but it paints Satan as the good guy. I absolutely loved it. I should read it again. I'll also look up Satan's Guide to the Bible. Thanks for the suggestion.
Same. It was such a pure understanding. Simply love. And they took that from us...
Come back to the true Jesus Christ. Not the one that the liars preach.
I am a Buddhist in practice and this sounds like something an Enlightened Being would say. He speaks with the clear, pithy instructions of one that is truly in sync with the way things are. This is Dharma. This is Tao. This is real Christianity. This is the Truth of Jesus. This man speaks with ease. His sincere & humble character shows through his words, a deep knowing or understanding. What a gift to politics. Thank you James. Thank you for who you are and what you're doing. Please keep doing it, this world needs you and others like you. Even more so these days. What a gift!

[34]Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.

[36]And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.
[37]He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.

@@jamie1682 Matthew 10:34-39 contains some of Jesus' most challenging words. As usual, they can be easily misinterpreted when taken out of context. Christ's arrival in the world will bring division to Israel, as even family members turn on each other over the issue of whether He is the Messiah. Jesus says those who love family more than Him are not worthy of Him. He further heightens this idea of radical loyalty by comparing it to carrying one's own cross: a metaphor for death. Those who do follow Him, though, will find the life that is true. Those who go their own way will lose their lives, no matter what they find on earth. This passage follows Jesus' instructions to the Twelve as they prepare to spread the gospel (Matthew 10:5-7).
You are cherry picking scripture to force it to say and mean what you think it should mean. Don’t take scripture out of context.
@@realBeltalowda what is challenging is preaching the Gospel today and not being hated by even our loved ones. Jesus and the Apostles faced it unto death. Soon that will be the fate of those who speak the truth in love to those who seek only those who tickle their ears.

man speaks the truth about CN and

I am 67 and, finally, someone made a sermon like this. I have been waiting so long.....
I am the granddaughter of a Nazarene preacher who grew up in a strict Nazarene family. I listened to hundreds sermons about hell fire and brimstone that left me feeling fearful and guilty. Once I left my parents' home, I never went to church again. Now I cannot understand the hypocrisy of my family calling themselves Christians while supporting a movement that spreads hate, power, and lies. Thank you for giving me back some hope in Christianity.
Amen and Amen 🙏🏼
They are afraid. Try to forgive them. 🙂
I only went to church because of my Mom. My Dad was an atheist.
Your family and friends supporting the evils spoken here, have "drank the Kool-aid " of cultism. Just like other cults, it is almost impossible to help the cult members of Trump and National Christianity due to the power of Satan. They all need an exorcism or two and lots of prayer to the God of Abraham, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit! for release of these demons.
AMEN?
When the people said to worship Satan(Satanists in general), end up being better people than the ones said to worship God and Jesus, you know somerhing is fucked up with Christianity.
I walked away from religion many many years ago because of nationalism. I stumbled across this and decided to listen to this sermon and I'm thankful I did. I've been longing to hear the truth and this man has touched me in a way organized religion never has. Thank you for your comforting words!!!
Ditto.💕
100% same. If Christianity were like this everywhere, I cannot see how folks (like me) would ‘nope out’ at the levels they/we have. Peace, love, service, caring for one another. All universal principles that resonate with my heart.
It's nice to hear a Christian instead of a churchian. There is a BIG difference.
Nothing Christian about the message that we should not be sharing Christ’s message. Christian Nationalism is anything but Christianity.
@@logicrealitytruththat’s true, it’s just a universal message against fascist treason and tyranny!
What?
@@logicrealitytruthNothing Christian about you
@@logicrealitytruth I think you need to actually open your Bible and read it instead of just using it as a prop to hold up as you spread your message of hate and exclusion. Because it seems you don't understand who it is you claim to worship. If you did know who Jesus was and what his message actually was you wouldn't say what you just said. In case you're not aware, which you obviously aren't, the most important thing to Jesus was that we love our fellow man/woman no matter what nationality, race or religion they are. Not do everything in our power to suppress the rights of everyone who doesn't look like us, worship like us, love who we think they should, vote like we do, come from the same place we do. People like you want to force your beliefs on everyone else and control everything we do, say or think. The type of Christianity that you seem to consider, "true" Christianity is nothing more than a bastardization of Jesus word and theft of his name to utilize in an effort to control the lives of others while claiming moral superiority when in actuality that form of religion has little to nothing to do with Christ. Christ would've called you out and rebuked you for your sense of false pride just as he rebuked the Pharisees for the same sense of moral superiority they exhibited in claiming to know the will of God while getting the message all wrong. Jesus died for the sins of all people. Including Heretics much like yourself who used the name of God to claim to have the right to tell others that they are sinful while ignoring the plank in their own eyes. I truly hope that before you meet him that you come to understand just how wrong you are and repent for your false use of his name to spread a message of hate and division and beg for forgiveness for bastardizing his message for your own hateful, ignorant desires. This most definitely was a true Christian sermon. Far more true to what true Christianity looks like than anything you're likely to hear from any White Christian Nationalist preacher. Shame on you. And just something to think about before I let you go. The book of revelations says that you shall know them by the mark of the beast which they shall wear upon their foreheads. Can anybody say Red hats sporting MAGA?
If this young man can entice non believers like myself to listen to his entire sermon, I suspect believers should experience a life change. Christian Nationalism turns people away from church and religion. James is a remarkable speaker.
Young dude's got some chops. Hope they don't beat it out of him in seminary.

I grew up Southern Baptist, converted to Catholicism. I am now happily an Athiest but THIS man i will speak highly of and pass on his sermons to others because HE IS RIGHT!
I grew up Southern Baptist too. But stopped going when I started noticing that it was becoming more and more political until every time I went, someone would get up at the pulpit and preach politics. At that point, it becomes something other than a place to worship God and follow Jesus, and it becomes a political social group. I still worship God, and I try to pray every day. I read Christian books. But I don't want to be a part of a RW social group. I just can't stomach it. I could go to this church though. Yes. This is political on the other end. But there needs to be an alternative to the RW social club. And we must call the evil that has crept into our churches, out.
Agree, a million times over. I actually hesitated sharing this on my social media, bc I'm very much an atheist, but if Christians acted and felt like this gentleman, it could be a game changer for the US. There's so much commonality with what I think and feel and how I view my fellow human beings.
I also was raised Baptist till I was ten and I refused to go anymore. In my later teens after marrying ,I tried it again. Nope,what I remembered from a child was the same. I believe in all this young man said and if I had had some one like him? I might ,say might, have followed. But my long years have and what I have seen and heard took that from me.
Proud Atheist!
I grew up in a devout Catholic family and I am now an atheist, but I truly find his message inspiring.

Same for me!! My father would have a “fit” over all of this!! Several churches in our area are in line with this pastor. They are spreading the word that Christian nationalists are not, in fact, acting as Christ would have us act!
Thank you for your comment. Our family is so appalled with the today’s Christians and that is why we left the church. We still believe in Christ. But we cannot be associated with those hate and bigotry.

Whether it is someone's religious belief or what they like to do when the lights go out, people should keep private things private, I'm Christian but I've literally never tried to push my beliefs on anyone, and I'm not going to let anyone push their opinions on me, I don't think that's too much to ask, so if a guy in a dress thinks he's a woman good for him, but I'm not going to go along with the fantasy, it doesn't make me a bad person it makes me realistic, and I consider that a fair trade-off since I don't try to force people to believe in an all-powerful being that can't be seen, it's only fair that other people don't try to force me to address them as a woman when they're a dude

I've been a Christian for a long time and this is one of the best sermons I have ever heard. Thank you James! Continue to stay true to the gospel of Jesus Christ.

@@Floppyearsmomma me too. Where is the love in churches that used to be the norm? People helping each other, and those in need in their communities. I left my church because my spouse and I split up; my family went from four of us attending church, to three of us attending church, to two of us attending church, then to just me and no one ever said a word, no one cared, ‘no one asked ‘how are things with you?’ not even my pastor. They just kept to themselves. I thought to myself, where is the love in this church? and I stopped attending.

@@yvonnelewis4888that is sad. So sorry that happened to you. A church should show more love. Even the small church I’m a member of seems to have their clicks. Others hang out together but we were never invited to hang out with anyone. I did message with the pastor’s wife a lot but I’ve cut back on that. I’m not saying they aren’t good people.
But I have decided to leave the “institutional church system.” It got to where it seemed fake to me. I would like to have a home church but I need someone who can teach. I would like someone who can teach verse by verse. Not tell story after story.
I am happier tho, not stressing about getting there on time or people being nosey about why we weren’t there, didn’t attend the manmade revival, and the list goes on and on.
We are taking Sundays to spend time as a family since my husband is at work from 10 am to midnight most days. Saturdays he has to cut the grass and do chores around our home. The kids need time with him.
I didn’t mean to go on and on. lol!
I am a Unitarian Universalist minister, and this was the sermon I have tried and tried to give -- and now at last I know what it would sound like. My God. Theologically, sociologically ... absolutely every word of it rings true. I was brought to tears by the love in James's thinking -- the words were brilliant, but the thinking is almost other-worldly. Enlightened Being, as a Buddhist here commented. I felt like Pastor-to-be Talarico fit the whole world into this talk. I'm grateful to my wife for sharing it with me.
You expressed my thoughts exactly. I have never heard anyone speak like this. This is uniting and will bring people to Christ. I am about ready to move to wher ever he will be preaching. This is what I learned about Jesus. He accepted everyone as they were.
This needs to be spoken at the democratic national convention and supported by all voters who still believes we can stop Christian nationalism.
Good call. As an agnostic, I could not agree more.
Excellent Idea,better yet,Invite Him to be there!
As long as we are NOT deceived in told not to worship. I too am tired of Churches incorporating Politics at the pulpit vs listening about the Gospel. This is so beautiful, bc too many of us are lost as we yearn for our Gospel.

This man is a false teacher, likely an atheist who recognizes that materialism is inadequate. The purpose of church is to "dwell in the infinite", he says. His hearers are invited to conjure the meaning of the infinite themselves, rather than consult the very Scriptures that tell us who God is.

As a social justice advocate and a Catholic, this is hands down the best sermon/homily I've heard in years. Thank you for speaking the truth with conviction, yet kindly and confidently. I loved this sermon!
I love this man Thank goodness we have him
I'm a Pastor, and I have been discouraged by what I have seen among many who call themselves followers of Jesus Christ. It appears that many have lost their way in the call to be witnesses of Jesus, the salt, and the light. We were never called to be the hammer, but we are supposed to be the hand. Thank you for this message. It is great to hear that there are many who believe and share the Gospel of Jesus.
Did you know that the Nazis supported Christian Nationalism here in the US during the 40's? Very scary!
Your weak if you by into this blasphemous sermon, Seek Christ and prayer. How pathetic this is, This must be the end times if people and so called Christians buy into this Charlatan.

I'm agnostic, so this was the wonderful pleasure of being the first sermon I've ever listened to! I agree wholeheartedly with everything you said. I want nothing more than the best for my fellow human, regardless of their religious views. I'm so glad to see you speak out on an issue I've been growing more afraid of over the years, and it's so refreshing to see more religious people speak out against religious nationalism. This sermon reflected everything I envision a true religion would hold in their core values. It seems like you are part of a wonderful church and community, and I wish you and all your church-goers the absolute best. Let's continue to work together and make our time in this world the best that we can for each other. I will keep doing my part!

You picked a good one, well done! There are plenty of awesome Christians in the world, I promise. They're just not very political (Jesus said not to be) so they're far less visible than the dreadful ones.
Any sermon you agree wholeheartedly with is better left unsaid. Preachers don't exist to make people say "See, I am right and justified and good and excellent"
@@analogia_entis Well, since I wasn't at the sermon and I watched it on youtube, I'll agree with whatever I want do and discuss it in a space I want to.
As a Christian I think the title "Christian Socialist"is more accurate to describe what Christianity should be. For Jesus instructed the haves to take care of the have nots. Great sermon
This is a brilliant summation of what’s going on in this country with those that have decided to go along with the thought process of Christian Nationalism. I am so sad when I hear people I’ve gone to church with for years, spew such hatred towards anyone not looking or thinking like they do. Thank you for speaking on this issue!
My brother I join with you
Sad and also angry and somewhat perplexed. But perhaps this is a result of Christians being unquestionably dependent on their leaders .

This is what a TRUE Christian sounds like and should believe in. Thank you young man.
I left the church over 10 years ago because of the evils I witnessed within, but a message like this brings me hope that there are still TRUE Christians out there spreading love. I loved your sermon and will be subscribing to hear more of what you have to say.
I hope this man gets a platform at the DNC. These are healing words that we need right now.

I cry tears of joy to finally in my 67 years hear words that reflect what my soul has felt my whole life. I found a way to hold on to my love of Jesus and his message. They say THEY are the Christians and those like us are not. Your message is food for my soul and can save our country.
🫂 We are of one blood... you and I!
Thank you, thank you! I studied Classics in college and read the New Testament in Greek Koine, and I am so grateful to you for summarizing what I learned in those four years in the most concise and powerful way I have ever seen. Thank you beyond words. God bless.
I grew up Catholic, and rejected ALL churches at age 13. Over the following 43 years, I have maintained the open opinion that the highly visible and loud Christians are the furthest from being actual followers of Jesus. This has become even more painfully obvious since 9/11. Religion has always been used as a weapon.
It truly hits me where I live to hear this man speak. He reminds me of my dad. Love is the answer.
Yes.

I'm a silly little woman with a Bachelor of Science degree who's been a Christian for almost 50 years, and I find this sermon a serious breath of fresh air. I'm absolutely appalled by the spectacle of so many Christians wildly cheering "leaders" who push ideas that are *directly antithetical to the teachings of Christ.*
If you call yourself a Christian, but want to give Christ a "makeover" because the Good Shepherd just isn't "kick-@ss" enough to suit you, you have got a *problem.*
Love of country is fine, but *God ALONE* deserves our worship.
SHEESH!
This soul gets it. Thank you for sharing the love.
I am a french atheist and I want to thank this preacher. I have never heard a speach like that and teach what believing in God really mean.
It opened my mind. Thank you.
Just make sure it doesn't open so much, it gets closed...😊 faith like cool aid, comforting to drink but unhealthy in the long run no matter the flavor.
The entire country needs to hear your sermon. I too am so grateful you, a Christian, who is taking a public stand against Christian nationalists. Jesus says we are to love one another. Judgement is the Lord's and the Lords only. There is nothing in God's words about following Christian nationslism, unless, of course, you are a Pharisee.
"Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. “This is the first and great commandment. “And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself” (Matthew 22:37-39).
God bless you and others speaking the truth against growing nationalism.

Feel free to re-open that Bible. Evangelicals have spent centuries perverting the Word in order to control & oppress people. The real meaning & context you'll find in the Bible don't say anything remotely similar to what we hear evangelical pseudo Christians spouting. 💜
Wow... ❤😊👍
I have seen Republicans coming out to say they have never voted for a Democrat before, but this year Country is more important than Party, and they were lauded for their courage.
But I think I've seen the bravest thing, when you came out and called Christian Nationalism the threat it is, that was amazing, no words can capture what you just did.
And you did it fully with the message of Jesus.

Christ isn’t a part of these zealots who defame his name. He was a renegade who fed the hungry, visited lepers in leper colonies and who loved all of God’s children without exception. You may be an atheist, which is your right, but those of us who worship a living God, love you without any expectation of you reciprocating our love. God will always consider you as a child of his no matter how you feel. Sending you prayers of compassion and acceptance.
I'm not religious because I'm Dutch. We are non-believers. But he is actually someone who doesn't praise the insane plague of "Christian nationalism." Such a relief.
I like this guy. I even kind of like this god.
Well spoken . Smart guy ❤
Thank you for that sermon. It is exactly what Christianity I was brought up in.......LOVE. I have been ashamed of our so called Christian society for the last several years for not standing up for what is right vs their republican politics. Excellent Sermon.
If Christians were like him, there would be love in the world. He really gives me hope, even as a Atheist.
❤ Appreciate that. I grew up Christian myself and as i got older and into politics i knew something wasn’t aligning with my logic and the way the average church viewed things so i started to doubt wether christianity was the true way. At the same time i knew exactly that Jesus is love and the things he said as the golden rule perfectly fit with my views. So i would earlier in my life see myself as “less christian” but now i know, thx to ppl like Mr Talarico, that im just a more aware christian with a personal belief in Jesus and not thw fabricated church mass belief.
He gives you "hope" because His God demands absolutely nothing of you. If a father demanded absolutely nothing of his son, you wouldn't call it love, you would call it a troubling indifference, at best

Do you think that makes you a strong Christian, to throw punches at a stranger who feels hopeful after hearing a sermon in favor of love? Please do not fashion Jesus after your nationalistic and exclusionary wishes.
Thank you so so much. I personally needed to hear this message from a white pastor/preacher speaking to a white congregation.
This wicked, racist Christian nationalism is literally turning people away from true Christianity - especially many in the Black community. To us, it has felt like the Christian leaders that we respected, loved, followed, supported have unveiled their truth in supporting a man that is the pure antithesis to Jesus. It has rocked us and angered us. I believe this is Satan’s aim .. to sow confusion, rage, and dissension as he divides the flock and attempts to invalidate the Good News.
My sincere prayer is that God covers you and protects you as you share a hugely-unpopular, truly Christ-like message in these dark and evil days. I pray that your boldness and courage increases even more and inspires other Christians to stand up for Jesus and the Word with equal bravery.
Amen!
So if the messenger was brown black or other color you would not welcome or needed the message. Listen to how your words sound so almost racist. Yea lets agree with you jesus would not have opened your ears to hear his messsge if ot weren’t coming from a white man. Perhaps you have soul searching to reach. You have some white nationalism good luck cause prayers didn’t help you.
Beautifully and perfectly said!! 💯❤️🙌🏼
I was raised Christian, and it has turned me away, just as you said. I'm absolutely devastated and heartbroken about what is happening in this country.

Finally, a follower of the person we called Christ appears.
He does not follow the Apostle Paul.
Romans 1:26-27 NKJV
[26] For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. [27] Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.
There are others.... Keep hope alive that you will meet and find many othersA. 😊
@@matthewpaulson6497shameful, the focus on hating certain groups who don’t align with your ways. They are among us, always will be, and should be loved, not hated. My beloved gay brother took his life so I won’t listen to this. Neither Paul nor Jesus would have hated him or wanted his suicide.
@@JayneDurrell nobody wants people to commit suicide. Depressed people need medicine and counciling.
@@matthewpaulson6497 they may work for a minute amount of people. He had all of that “treatment.” The brain, the last frontier in the human body, is a literal guessing game with respect to meds and treatments. There are no tests, no measurable or quantifiable results in a living brain, no taking out or surgically examining the organ. Throw meds at it, see if anything sticks. See how sick or suicidal or manic they make the patient. Therapy and meds don’t help when you’re tormented past the point of return. It’s very sad and cruel. People break. We actually break, just like things and body parts do. And we are judged for it by those who’ve never come remotely close to even the the slightest whiff of it. Our truth denied, mocked. It’s an unbelievable hell to live. And yes I’m speaking for my brother and for me (totally heterosexual), hanging for ages on a micro-flake from that cliff.

As a Buddhist I respect Jesus and his servants like you!!! What a wonderful sermon to hear in such a time of darkness who uses name Jesus to spread hatred. Your sermon is a light which shines in the swampy darkness. Thank you so much for spreading love not hate. Sending positive vibes from Nepal.
Once I learned that Buddhists believe all religion leads to God, i absolutely always loved that concept. ❤
Budhism cannot mix with Jesus Chrst. It’s emissible like water and oil. Buddhism is in direct contradiction to Islam and Christianity. Islam is in direct contradiction to Christ. Therefore, Islam and Buddiahm are works based religions -while Jesus Christ is the way, the truth and the life; there is no mixing of all the religions as a born again Christian. You are either a Christ-follower or not. That’s the end game to this all. One way to the Father is through Jesus Christ. Buddha can’t save. Muhammad or Allah can’t save. Only through the blood sacrafice on the cross of Jesus can someone be saved from eternal damnation. There is no either way even though there are some truths in Buddahism and Islam; nevertheless, they are works based religions with no savior. The tomb of Jesus Chrst was empty and He ascended to heaven. He conquered death. Muhammad’s grave was not empty. Buddha’s grave was not empty. Praise the Lord Jesus Christ -He is our only path to righteousness
You are why people are leaving xianity. Being good towards others is what the message is, regardless of belief system.
@@LedByGrace Shakyamuni Buddha was trying to teach everyone is a Buddha. They just didn't know it. A Buddha is not a god. He became deified after he died. Nichiren Daishonin described it this way. --- You must never think that any of the eighty thousand sacred teachings of Shakyamuni Buddha’s lifetime or any of the Buddhas and bodhisattvas of the ten directions and three existences are outside yourself. Your practice of the Buddhist teachings will not relieve you of the sufferings of birth and death in the least unless you perceive the true nature of your life. If you seek enlightenment outside yourself, then your performing even ten thousand practices and ten thousand good deeds will be in vain. It is like the case of a poor man who spends night and day counting his neighbor’s wealth but gains not even half a coin. That is why the T’ien-t’ai school’s commentary states, “Unless p.4one perceives the nature of one’s life, one cannot eradicate one’s grave offenses.”2 This passage implies that, unless one perceives the nature of one’s life, one’s practice will become an endless, painful austerity. Therefore, such students of Buddhism are condemned as non-Buddhist. Great Concentration and Insight states that, although they study Buddhism, their views are no different from those of non-Buddhists. www.nichirenlibrary.org/en/wnd-1/Content/1

I think you do not understand the religions/philosophies of which you speak. For example, Buddhism isn't even a religion. It's a psychology, a way of living that fosters inner peace. The Buddha is revered but not worshipped. Islam and Christianity have many beliefs in common.
I grew up a Southern Baptist Oklahoman and was married for 23 years to a Baptist preacher. I incorporate Buddhist teachings in my life. I have read the Koran. I think our religious role is to bless one another as we each travel our own path, searching for existential realization of what our life means.
