When Church Meets Politics: The Turning Point Problem
Jerry Eicher of Anabaptic Theological Perspectives examines the growing mixing of church and politics in light of recent events surrounding Charlie Kirk, Turning Point USA, and emerging voices like Candace Owens and Ali Beth Stuckey. Eicher warns about the historical dangers of church-state entanglement, traces contemporary problems—women speaking to men in political-tinged church spaces, OnlyFans controversies, and the rise of polarizing media figures—and urges a return to non-political, biblical church leadership.Topics covered include the leadership vacuum at Turning Point after Charlie Kirk, concerns over women-led political influence, biblical roles for men and women, Jordan Peterson’s cultural observations, the OnlyFans debate and its pastoral implications, and historical parallels to Constantine and the state church. Eicher calls for churches to draw back from political entanglement and reassert traditional church authority and teaching.
