Eleanor Goldfield hosts this week’s program.
First up on the show, Christian Nationalism, Evangelicalism – some might say that its whats destroying our nation, but are we actually ready to sit with how much it actually defines our nation? Jared Stacy, a former Evangelical Pastor and author of the newly released book, Reality in Ruins: How Conspiracy Theory Became an American Evangelical Crisis, joins the show to talk about the history and the present of this entwined relationship between the US and Evangelicalism, how conspiracy theories become gospel, and how if we want to address the fallout from this tangle, theological intervention is necessary.
Next up, chief of advocacy at Freedom of the Press Foundation Seth Stern comes back on the show to dig into some of the most recent and egregious threats to the First Amendment – from classifying black clothing as criminal activity to journalistic malpractice in apocalyptic times, and more.
