Read MoreKeith Simon and Russell Moore discusses the shift in the pro-life movement, the challenges of the post-Christian right, controversy and change in his own life, the fracturing in the church, the loss of trust in the church, the importance of repentance and a credible Christian voice, the perception of Christian nationalism in politics, and the issue of easy believism and substantive faith. In this conversation, Russell Moore discusses the challenges facing the evangelical church in America and offers insights into how to address them. He emphasizes the need to reconnect with the core teachings of Christianity and to prioritize the gospel over cultural trends. Moore also highlights the importance of humility, dependence on the Holy Spirit, and a renewed focus on the Bible. He encourages Christians to learn from their critics and to seek God's guidance in navigating the complexities of the current cultural landscape. Ultimately, Moore envisions a healthier evangelical church that is marked by a deep love for Christ and a commitment to truth.
Takeaways
- The pro-life movement has experienced a shift from a broad-based movement focused on human dignity and vulnerability to a more partisan issue, which has led to a loss of support in both red and blue states.
- The post-Christian right has emerged as a result of cultural changes and the secularization of American society, leading to a reevaluation of traditional Christian values and the rise of controversial figures.
- Controversy and change are inevitable in the church, but it is important to maintain a credible Christian voice and model repentance in order to address issues such as sexual abuse, racism, and political extremism.

Do Politics Corrupt Your Faith? with Peter Wehner
Is it possible to change Washington, D.C. without it changing you? Todayโs guest, Peter Wehner, thinks so. But heโs also a bit of an anomaly: a serious Christian who felt he never had to compromise his faith while serving in the Reagan and both Bush administrations. How did his faith and career merge? Did he ever have to hold back on what he believed in order to keep his role as an advisor? How did he justify the decisions around the wars going on at the time?

The Evangelical Legacy of Slavery with Sean McGever
We all like to think of ourselves as good people, right? Had we been around โback then,โ we would have opposed slavery, marched for womenโs suffrage, and rescued Jews from the Holocaust. But can we be so sure? The reality is that many prominent Christians, including those considered to be the Founding Fathers of Evangelicalism, have had major blindspots, particularly concerning slavery. But does the context and timeline in which you grew up provide a credible excuse for your behavior? Todayโs guest, Sean McGever, is a historian and the author of โOwnership: The Evangelical Legacy of Slavery in Edwards, Wesley, and Whitefield.โ Hear him unpack how the cultural thinking of the 18th century impacted Christianity and whether or not we should take that into consideration, or cancel these men altogether. Plus, is it generally true that Christians led the eventual abolitionist movement? And what are some possible modern blind spots in our culture today?"Joyful Outsiders" is available now!
