Intro
This chapter explores the recent Democratic National Convention in Chicago, highlighting Kamala Harris's nomination as the party's candidate. It combines political analysis with cultural discussions, including insights on 'prairie vibes' and 'trad vibes' from a guest speaker.
DNC recap and Trad-Wives.
Russell, Mike, and Clarissa are joined by David Zahl (Mockingbird Ministries) to talk about the Democratic National Convention – what happened and what opponents and “those on the outside” are saying about the Harris-Walz ticket, and what Christians who feel homeless can do about political involvement. Then Katelyn Beaty joins us to explore the trad-wife social media movement and why both men and women deserve something better.
