Episode notes

i just wonder if the future of christian politics really is like hate everybody. Let's just get more local. We've localized lately in the worst possible way. You're seeing local politicians adopting policies, say, in tennessee, because of what san francisco is doing. And it justit has a way of outflanking the sort of atrician warfare of red verses blue at the national level. i'm afraid to publicly say, hey, vote for josh brown if you're in district, for williamson county,. Because the politics of the moment are so polarized that he'd be great on our school board.

This week David and Curtis offer a follow up discussion on fundamentalism, clarifying some key points from the previous episode and diving deeper into how we can become fundamentalists without even knowing it! Do our increasingly homogenous social groups perhaps push us toward fundamentalism and even radicalization? How might the presence of even a few diverse voices impact these groups? This then leads to a discussion about liberal democracy and how it is under assault, not just globally (as in Russia/Ukraine), but even here in the US. How should our Christian faith inform things like our system of government and our embrace (or rejection) of liberal democracy?
