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?

The Evangelical Legacy of Slavery with Sean McGever
We all like to think of ourselves as good people, right? Had we been around “back then,” we would have opposed slavery, marched for women’s 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? Today’s guest, Sean McGever, is a historian and the author of “Ownership: The Evangelical Legacy of Slavery in Edwards, Wesley, and Whitefield.” 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!

How Advisors Change Culture with Jeremy Brown
So, a Christian and a secular film festival director walk into a bar. Actually, they’re the same person. How? That’s the crazy story we’re telling on today’s episode when we continue our series breaking down each of the six types of “Joyful Outsiders” God uses to engage with culture. Jeremy Brown, a Christian and former Executive Director of a progressive, non-Christian film festival, joins us to provide an example of the advisor, those who impact culture by influencing the influential. Advisors are “in the room where it all happens” and aren’t necessarily in charge, but influence people in power. Jeremy explains his backstory and how he got involved with the internationally recognized True/False Film Fest. Did this secular organization know much about his personal faith convictions? How did he help bridge the gap between the film fest and one of the festival’s sponsors, his own church? And how did he handle the controversy that ensued after a contradictory sermon at his church led to a dramatic partnership ending that drew national attention? What kind of advice would he offer to other advisors with a foot in both worlds? Listen now!Are you an advisor too? Or maybe you’re an artist, protester, trainer, builder, or ambassador?
