Episode 9 | Is Putin a Christian? : The Russian Orthodox Church and a Christian response to the war in Ukraine

Is Putin really a Christian? Why is he so buddy-buddy with the leader of the Russian Orthodox Church? Is the Russian Orthodox Church a legitimate Christian church? These are just a few of the questions I and other teachers have been asked in my English school here in Japan. And boy, are they doozies. I (bravely) tackle these questions in this episode of the Salty Gaijin Podcast.

I research the history of the Russian Orthodox Church, investigate cases of war and invasions in the Bible, and explore what Jesus says about how to exemplify the Christian life. Does Putin match Jesus’ standards? You’ll just have to listen and see.
