Can Christians reckon with when the Bible is at odds with their political preferences, passions and prejudices? That just depends on who you ask. So we asked Dr. Tommy Givens, Assoc. Professor of New Testament Studies at Fuller Theological Seminary (and a pastor's kid to boot!), about Scripture, the church in America, and what the results of the election has revealed about it all.

It would mean so much if you could leave us a review:

In this episode, we go deep:

  • When did Tommy start to question the prevailing orthodoxy of the fundamentalist church of his youth?
  • Evangelism - Is it simply persuading others "to be like me"? Or is it about joining life with our neighbors?
  • What does Christianity have to say about war, friendship, and how to navigate a broken family?
  • Should Christians work to occupy positions of power? (First, we need to ask whether Christians are necessarily good.)
  • How can we negotiate life, politics, share a country or even just a meal with people who aren't like us?
  • Are we reducing people's lives to the terms of this candidate vs. that candidate?
  • And the art of strolling...
