Show Notes for August 26, 2025
Today, Eric builds on our continuing discussion of “Otherizing” and “Enemy-Making,” and counters the narrative of the Trump Administration that crime is out of. control in America.
In fact, stats show that violent crime is falling right now, and that the “bad news bias” that crime is rising (not true) dates back to the mid 1990s. Americans BELIEVE crime is rising, even when it isn’t.
The danger now is: The use of ICE/National Guard to quel non-existent crime sprees, and further facism.
But, also, simultaneously, what this move does to sow distrust, fear, anger, resentement among neighbors and neighborhoods.
Jesus invites us to celebrate the diversity of all God’s children, not become tribal in our response to “The Other.”
Song of the Day:
A new song from Eric…one that he’s very proud of…call
”The Streets of Old Preston Hollow".”
