Top headlines for Friday, September 1, 2023

In today's podcast, we explore the impact of the extremely dangerous Hurricane Idalia; how the Florida churches reacted, vaunted community efforts, and tragic weather-related deaths. Next, we swap natural catastrophe for legal drama, discussing the recent release of a pastor connected to former president Donald Trump's indictment, thanks to notable conservative fundraising efforts. We then dive into demographic shifts in church leadership, investigating data from a new Barna study showing the increasing age of American pastors, and the challenges this raises for future pastoral succession. Finally, as we approach the 2024 presidential primaries, we turn our attention to commentator Tucker Carlson's grave concerns for Trump's safety.
