Favored or Forsaken: America as a Christian Nation
In this very special Favored or Forsaken episode, Knox and Erin are joined by author, co-host of Pantsuit Politics, and parenthetical enthusiast Beth Silvers to talk about Christian nationalism. Not sure if you’re aware, but there’s a lot going on in the news right now. We’re zooming out a bit to have a conversation about whether or not America should be an expressly Christian nation. Is Christian nationalism turning people away from faith? Is a government that reflects Christian values a good or bad thing? What does it mean to squat on a take? You’ll have to listen to find out!
