Brian talks with political advisor & author Michael Wear about the moral weight of the American vote. If the average American is really opposed to inflammatory campaign strategies and provocative public discourse, why do we keep seeing increasingly harsh political ads and growing polarization? Does moral knowledge have a place in our government? Where can a Christian find a home in our political environment?

Dr. Brian Doak is an Old Testament scholar and professor.

Michael Wear is the Founder, President and CEO of the Center for Christianity and Public Life.
