What the Religious Right Got Wrong: Evangelicalism (1945 - 1960)

Today, we focus on Evangelicalism as we go through history to discuss what it means to be evangelical and why it can be both theological and political. We then dive right into what led evangelical Christians to become political and the effect of the Supreme Court ruling that stated it's unconstitutional to have state-led prayers in public schools.

The Rise of Woke Capitalism

They start with LLCs and the dark side that can live in an LLC.

About the Show
Our interviews with leading Christian and non-Christian thinkers will challenge you to consider truth. We hope our podcast will help you understand whatβs happening in your workplace, home, community, and society, then apply Jesusβs teachings there.
We donβt take ourselves too seriously. Or any tribe, for that matter. So prepare yourself to laugh, think, get offended, change your mind, or shout in agreement.
Above all, youβll become the kind of leader and thinker whose outlook is shaped by Jesus, not mainstream media out to get a buck and fuel the outrage.
