In this episode, I talk about the most abused and weaponized passages of Scripture today, the lenses people see Scripture through, and how to read Scripture more carefully and faithfully.

Impolite Company monologue on Abused Scripture

“Impolite Company” is a twice monthly internet radio show and podcast that explores the intersection of politics and religion, how they inform each other in healthy and harmful ways, and how important it is to have healthy conversations with others around politics and religion. The show is hosted by Rev. Matthew Best, who is an ordained ELCA Lutheran pastor who also has an extensive background in politics.

The concept for the show comes from the old adage “don’t talk about religion and politics around polite company.” It is Rev. Best’s conviction that avoiding talking about these important topics has not served American politics or faith traditions well. We need to be able to talk about these important topics in healthy ways because they shape people’s identities and beliefs as well as have an impact on policies and how we interact with one another.

“Impolite Company” targets politically engaged individuals, religious-minded people, and those who see the importance of a healthy conversation between the two.
