If you grew up watching the Left Behind movies, fearing the rapture, grappling with a politically co-opted church, and feeling compelled to engage in Christian culture wars, then you’re in good company with today’s guest. Sara Billups, author of Orphaned Believers, joins Keith on the pod this week to discuss what it was like to grow up in the Christian subculture of the 1980s and 1990s and why she believes this era caused so many to feel “orphaned” and eventually leave the church. Sara provides comprehensive definitions and examples of the Christian culture war and details how this redefined the faith of many. Does she believe the solution is for Christians to remove themselves from politics altogether? Does she believe the right or the left is in more danger of succumbing to tribalism? Plus, how did Trump’s Presidency affect our faith and the overall reputation of American Christians? Listen now!
