This summer, we're hitting pause on new episodes to gear up for an exciting fall season! Every other week, we'll be featuring fan-favorite episodes you may have missed. New episodes return this August!

Jamie is joined by Dr. Russell Moore, Editor in Chief of Christianity Today and former President of the Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission, to explore the complex intersection of faith, politics, and Christian unity.

Dr. Moore brings his theological insights and years of experience navigating the turbulent waters of religious and political discourse to address some of the most pressing challenges facing the American church today. From the subtle dangers of political idolatry to the pursuit of faithful Christian witness in an age of division, this conversation offers both biblical insight and practical steps for Christians who want to be faithful culture-engagers rather than culture-warriors.
