In this fantastic bonus episode, returning guests Flo Conway and Jim Siegelman–authors of the classics Snapping and Holy Terror–take us on a trip back in time…to the origins of the Christian Right, with a close assessment of the various strategies that were used to sway and influence millions of impressionable evangelicals to get involved in politics.

What’s perhaps not so surprising? The playbook that many of the architects of the Christian Right constructed decades ago is still in operation. The current evangelical Trump base, for example, is an extension of the work that these key players installed decades ago.

We also look at the impact these strategies had on the individual evangelical. We’ll explore the story of Diane, “the first ex-evangelical,” that Flo and Jim encountered in their travels across America researching this movement.
