In this special bonus episode, I’m happy to share my interview of Kristin Kobes Du Mez, author of an outstanding book released on Tuesday, the 23rd of June 2020, and timed to coincide with its release.

Titled Jesus and John Wayne: How White Evangelicals Corrupted a Faith and Fractured a Nation, the book explores the legacy of “evangelical masculinity”–and chronicles how, in the last century or so, white evangelicals have been on a quest to “reclaim their lost manhood.”

We’ll cover not only how this movement came about and how it developed most clearly over the last 40 years, but also discuss the legacy of this movement–biblical patriarchy, along with its numerous abuses and scandals. This is also the legacy that led to that infamous 81% of white evangelicals voting for Trump in 2016.
