This week on the podcast I have a conversation with Randall Balmer on his book, Bad Faith: Race and the Rise of the Religious Right. We'll look at the real reason Christians rallied around the Republican party in the early 80's; and (spoiler) it wasn't over abortion, as is often the circulated narrative. We'll talk about this history and why it matters for the church today.

In Luke 24, Jesus told two of his followers that the entire Bible was about him. Yet their reading of the Bible had not actually prepared them for Jesus. Sadly, the same thing is still happening today, even in churches. This podcast is an invitation to reread the Old Testament with Jesus in mind; to “unbind” it from the many ways it’s been misread and misapplied. I hope you’ll join me!
