Trump, Harris, or Neither: Who Should Christians Vote For?
4 Perspectives on Voting for American Christians
We’re officially less than a month out from Election Day 2024. In the last several weeks, we’ve had a number of Christians reach out asking a variety of questions: “Can I really support Donald Trump?” “Should I vote for Kamala Harris?” “Should I just vote for a third party, or is that throwing away my vote altogether?” We’ve been asking ourselves these same questions. So today, we’re enlisting some help. We reached out to a few friends, all of whom are Christians and none of whom are voting for...
Read MoreWe’re officially less than a month out from Election Day 2024. In the last several weeks, we’ve had a number of Christians reach out asking a variety of questions: “Can I really support Donald Trump?” “Should I vote for Kamala Harris?” “Should I just vote for a third party, or is that throwing away my vote altogether?” We’ve been asking ourselves these same questions. So today, we’re enlisting some help. We reached out to a few friends, all of whom are Christians and none of whom are voting for the same Presidential candidate next month. First, we’ll hear from Brett Lloyd, a longtime polling expert with Independent Center, on why he’s chosen the independent path. Then, David French, an author and former constitutional litigator, joins us to explain why he’s supporting Kamala Harris. Erik Reed, a pastor and podcast host, shares his reasons for supporting Donald Trump. And finally, Lauren Onak, the VP candidate for the American Solidarity Party, explains why she believes a third-party vote is the answer. Our hope for this episode is that if you’re an undecided voter, you’ll walk away feeling more confident about how to steward your vote next month. And if you’re already decided, we hope hearing these varying perspectives helps soften your heart to fellow believers who are voting differently than you. Listen now!

You Can’t Say That in Church! with Brenna Blain
Abuse. Molestation. Same-sex attraction. Mental health crises. What if our hardest questions, secret struggles, and biggest doubts aren’t meant to stay secrets but can lead us closer to God’s heart? Brenna Blain is a contemporary theologian and the author of “Can I Say That?” She joins Patrick on the pod today to share her own journey of wrestling with God at the intersection of faith and suffering. Providing an open look into her past, she invites listeners to be vulnerable themselves, citing how God has consistently met her in the tension of her most complex questions and toughest circumstances. She discusses the profound power of honesty and vulnerability and how not all stories conclude with a clean-cut “Amazing Grace” ending.

Why Trump Was Reelected: A Post-Election Postmortem
As the dust begins to settle one month after the 2024 election, many have started to analyze what Donald Trump’s decisive victory says about the current state of the country. Today, Patrick and Keith are teaming up to break down a few of their favorite takes on it all, namely a piece from Ross Douthat of The New York Times. They discuss the resurgence of the anti-establishment movement, the death of mainstream media and the rise of “new media” sources, and the state of Liberalism in America. They break down what post-liberalism looks like on the left and the right and explain how radical outsiders are no longer outliers in their parties but prominent voices in each. They discuss how drastically the media landscape is changing and explain why 2024 is already being referred to as “The Podcast Election.” Plus, why does this hinge point in our culture matter for Christians?

Walking Through Deconstruction with Ian Harber
“Backslider.” A catch-all too often used to describe those within the faith who ask hard questions. But why doesn’t the church have a more positive category for its members who begin to question their faith? Is the solution really to just come up with the right answers and shut them down? Or is there something deeper happening? Today’s podcast guest, Ian Harber, speaks from personal experience. He shares his own process of deconstruction and reconstruction, which has taken more than ten years, and explores with Patrick what’s actually happening, both culturally and spiritually, when someone deconstructs their faith. He explains why apologetics has become the central focus of deconstruction but shares why Christians must shift conversations away from intellectual debates and instead to deeper issues. Plus, why is there so much deconstruction content available now? What would he say to churches that don’t have a healthy category for the deconstructors within their congregation? And is there deconstruction on the right, or is it limited to progressive theology? Listen now!Our new book, Joyful Outsiders, is coming January 21, 2025.Want to start reading now before release day?
