May 21, 2023 Episode 66: Talking Evangelicals & 2024 with Journalist Jon Ward
Welcome to another week of Wear We Are with Michael & Melissa Wear! Senior Political Correspondent for Yahoo News, Jon Ward, joins us to talk about his new book, Testimony: Inside the Evangelical Movement That Failed a Generation, which details Jon's upbringing in evangelicalism and his coverage of American politics over the last two decades. It's a great conversation for those who may identify with Jon's story and for those wanting to learn more about the history of entanglement between evangelicalism and politics in the US.

May 14, 2023 Episode 65: Does Christianity Have a Brand Problem?
Welcome to another week of Wear We Are with Michael & Melissa Wear! In this week's episode, we talk about a recent newsletter over at the NYT written by Jessica Grose, "'Christianity's Got a Branding Problem.'" Talking about American Christianity in branding terms isn't new, but Grose is touching on a fraught conversation at the intersection of religion and politics and changing demographics. We also talk about Melissa's new essay on the branding of Motherhood over on Substack, just in time for Mother's Day.
What do you think? We'd love to know your thoughts!
