How far has the Christian Right come on the topic of Sex Education? What started the controversy? How did this topic become a topic of discussion? What about the shifts, or potential shifts, in today’s time on the topic of sex education and the Christian Right?
Show Notes:
The Christian Right have very strong opinions regarding the LGBTQ community and denounce their lifestyle in a public fashion. But has it been effective in the past? In this episode, I describe various anti-gay activists and how their activism didn't exactly provide them with the results they wanted.

Show Notes:
According to one study, from 1920-1960 about 70% of high schools omitted evolution from their textbooks. While ultimately unsuccessful, Christian Fundamentalists of the early 20th century led the crusade against evolution, and after public disgrace and a name change, the evangelicals in America have leveraged their influence to change the course of our country and the world. In this episode we track the Christian Right’s impact on education policy and norms in America.
Show Notes:
Is Trump the second coming of Reagan? What are the similarities between Reagan and Trump? What are the differences? In order to attempt to answer this question we will look into the policies, support, reputation, communication styles amongst these two presidents.

This episode discovers the different ways community has played a role in the formation and maintaining of the Christian Right. Humans have a natural desire to feel like they are a part of something bigger, and members of the Christian Right are no different.
Show Notes:
The Christian Right is largely built with the goal to restore fundamental, traditional values into what once was a Christian nation. By strapping on their armor and preparing their weapons, the Christian Right has fought, and is still fighting, to reclaim America for Christ and win the culture war.
Show Notes:
Many Christians hold strong beliefs around the sanctity of marriage, the wrongfulness of theft, and the dignity of the human life. So, how can almost 80% of Evangelical Christians so enthusiastically support President Trump? Plagued by curiosity unresolved by academic literature on the subject, I decided to find out for myself.

The Christian Right is a powerful political force that for decades had but two focuses: marriage protection and abortion. I take a bit of time to explore what happened to the marriage protection movement and if it bears any similarities to the other large-scale, failed Christian movement of the 20th century—prohibition.
