Show Notes:

This episode marks the culmination of my semester's work as I take what I have learned to a conversation with a member of the Christian Right after a run in with a high school friend. 

Show Notes: 

The culture of the Christian Right typically places men in positions of leadership. However, this podcast examines the influential and significant role of women in shaping the Christian Right from the 1960s to modern day. 

Show Notes:

Here we explore the various reasons why students from the LGBT community attend Christian colleges, even colleges that are openly discriminatory towards their lifestyle.

Show Notes: 

In today’s episode, host Devin Yeatter discusses the Joe Biden Presidential Campaign’s efforts to win over White Evangelical support from President Trump. How effective has VP Biden been? And does it even matter?

Show Notes:

Evangelical Christians donate more to charity than most other groups. Yet, white evangelicals predominately vote for candidates who do not want to increase welfare spending. In this episode we explore the attitude of the Christian Right towards welfare.

Show Notes:

Members of the Christian Right have been known to deny human-involvement in Climate Change. But how can they rationalize a lack of effort to make a change when they personally suffer from it’s effects? 

Show Notes: 

It’s no question that the left-right political spectrum has grown increasingly divided over time. Have you ever wondered what exactly differentiates you and the person next to you? For example, what are the distinctions between a Trump supporter and a non-supporter? Hochschild’s concept of “empathy walls” allows us to explore our own limitations when it comes to understanding the beliefs and actions of another individual. When we actively do our part in “breaking down” these walls, there is room for growth and understanding.

Show Notes:

With the holidays fast approaching, many of us are on the edge of our seat, nervously awaiting uncertain family dinner conversations about the (finally) concluded election season and the state of American politics. It’s easy to fall into the mindset of digging your heels in and resisting ideologically aloof relatives’ influence. But in this podcast, I propose an alternative approach to navigating a politically diverse family, one that offers everyone from the Christian Right to democratic socialists a deeper level of understanding.
