Episode notes

i grew up in a church called the acapella churches of christ, because we did not have musical instruments. And so when i went to lipscom, if you were not in the church of christ, and you were reflecting on lipscombe, that's a fundamentalist institution. Now for moody, i absolutely am willing to concede that maybe it belongs more in the conservative, evangelical end. To all you moody bible in stud o lums, i got nothing, nothing but love for you. Go orse go oses.

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?
