n this episode we are excited to sit down with celebrated spiritual writer and sought-after speaker, Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove. In his new book REVOLUTION OF VALUES  - Jonathan outlines how Christians have misused Scripture to consolidate power, stoke fears, and defend against enemies. A solution to this rest with people who have been hurt by the attacks of Christian nationalism. Jonathan shows us how their voices can help us rediscover God’s vision for faith in public life.

We discuss people on the frontlines of issues ranging from immigration policy and voting rights to women’s rights and much more. This is a conversation that certainly helps us focus on striving to respect the dignity of every human being.
