The Disrupters: Faith Changing Culture

Leaving Evangelicalism, with Jon Ward


Listen Later

If you’re listening to this podcast, you’ve probably left, or considered leaving evangelicalism. But what does it mean to leave evangelicalism, and what is evangelicalism anyway? In today’s episode, Nancy speaks to reporter Jon Ward about the disparity between what the evangelical movement’s aspirational ideas and the current reality of the evangelical movement at work in the world. “A lot of evangelicalism is a cultural project, which presents itself as a theological project,” says Ward. “There's a disconnect between the faith and the principles of the faith, and how to apply them broadly,” So what does that mean for those of us who aren’t exactly feeling the “cultural project” of evangelicalism? And how do we focus on moving forward rather than merely looking back? Nancy and Jon bring their unique perspectives to a complex topic in this week’s episode of The Disrupters. Disruptions discussed in this episode: Jon Ward’s upcoming book, Testimony: Inside the Evangelical Movement that Failed a Generation Interview about the Greg Thompson/Duke Kwon book, Reparations The Evangelicals: The Struggle to Shape America “Shame” by Jake Meador The Color of Compromise by Jemar Tisby Culture Care by Makoto Fujimura
