Jamin Bradley, a pastor and theologian, argues that the words of important figures like Jesus and Dietrich Bonhoeffer are often misinterpreted and misused. He uses the January 6th insurrection as an example of how words can be misinterpreted to incite violence, rather than to promote understanding.
