On today’s episode, Red Wine and Blue founder Katie Paris is filling in for Jasmine Clark. Katie, Rachel Vindman, and Amanda Weinstein discuss their experiences with Christianity—especially evangelical Christianity—and how it’s shaped their lives, their perspectives, and their politics. They also talk with Hannah Dasgupta, a mom from suburban Ohio; Hannah grew up in a conservative evangelical church and although her politics have changed since then, she hasn’t lost her faith.

After that, Rachel sits down with Kristin Du Mez, the author of one of her favorite books, Jesus and John Wayne: How White Evangelicals Corrupted a Faith and Fractured a Nation. Rachel has been singing Kristin’s praises on Twitter ever since she read her book, so she was thrilled to chat with her about the intersections between faith, evangelical culture, sexism, racism, and Donald Trump. Finally, our hosts raise a glass to their children, camp, and the unexpected thrill of farm equipment in this week’s “Toast to Joy.”
