Stories of and reflections on hurt in @Newfrontiers and wider UK evangelical culture through slander, silence, and exclusion. Hoping for repentance and change.Joined July 2023
I've heard this episode labelled as the humiliation of Zelenskyy. I think it is more accurate to be the humiliation of America and republicans. Trump and Vance are bullies who will isolate America from the rest of the world.
