In this episode of the Theology and Ethics podcast, we sit down with Bethel McGrew (formerly “Esther O’Reily”) to talk about Megan Basham’s bombshell book: Shepherds for Sale, and give some theological and philosophical reflection about the current state of politics in the Church and how Christians should vote their conscience.

Bethel McGrew is a freelance writer, teacher, maths Ph.D., cultural critic, bad Anglican. You might have spotted her at World, National Review, First Things, The Spectator, The Critic, Plough, or someplace else.
