Is Putin a Christian?? : The Russian Orthodox Church and a Christian response to the war in Ukraine

Send us a text

In this episode, Brittany tackles a rather serious topic this time around: Putin and the war between Russia and Ukraine. Putin’s actions are a mystery to many of her English students, prompting them to ask, “Is Putin really a Christian?” Putin seems to have strong support from the head of the Russian Orthodox Church, so what does that mean for the Church? Are Christians okay with this invasion of Ukraine and the commencing war? After some research, Brittany attempts to address these questions through her own understanding of the Bible, Jesus, and Christianity.
