Faith, Politics, & the War Within: Allegiance, Grace & Addiction with Josif Wright
About this episode
Josif Wright discusses leaving Christian nationalism and the challenges of faith, politics, and addiction with Craig Harguess.
What happens when the faith you inherited no longer looks like Jesus? Josif Wright joins Craig to talk about leaving Christian nationalism, questioning the flag-and-cross mixture, and learning to trust Christ instead of political power. Josif is a teacher, coach, hospice chaplain, church speaker, and author of The War Within: My Story. The conversation later turns toward his son Ryan’s decade-long struggle with addiction. Craig also shares memories of his brother TJ, whose battle with alcohol ended in 2020. Together, they ask what families and churches can do when control fails, shame makes things worse, and love is the only faithful path left. They dig into: Why Christians should question “God-and-country” teaching Flags, pledges, voting, and divided allegiance Loving people beyond national and political teams Addiction from a parent’s point of view Grace, identity, recovery, and harmful church labels 📖 For Full Show Notes: thebadroman.com/show-notes/episode-163 🤝Connect with Josif🤝 Book: The War Within: My Story at Barnes & Noble, Amazon Email: thewarwithinmystory@gmail.com Instagram: @Josifwright X: @Josifwright Nostr/Damus: @j3 Josif also invites people who cannot…
