20 24 aims to create a post partisan christian programme. The aim is for people to see themselves not as republican or democrat, but as Christians participating in democracy. David Frum says he's 'not 100% sure' the country will survive another election cycle. He believes there are clear signs of an assault on democracy domestically.

Liberal democracy is under military threat abroad, and intellectual threat in America. And many of these domestic attacks are coming from within Christianity. So should Christians care about defending democracy? What are the connections between our Christian faith and America’s form of self-government? This week David and Curtis dive headlong into this deep and fascinating issue, including some history, some theology, and some critical guidance for why we Christians must indeed care about the state of our democracy and its institutions.
