i wrote this in octoberof 20 21. And is is so often the case with writing a it's not just what you write, but it's the timing. You have to get the timing right. I think this one got a lot of attention because i think it spoke to a particular moment. It wasn't simply that that a political divisions and political antipathy had found a home in the church. But it was a kind of disposition or temperament that many pastors felt undermined by.

Joining David and Curtis this week are two of the most influential voices speaking to Christian faith in the public square, David Brooks and Peter Wehner. Both Peter and David recently wrote landmark pieces analyzing the current landscape of American evangelicalism. In this podcast, they discuss the signs of hope and restoration for the troubled movement. Also, in a bit of self-revelation, they share about the books that most influenced their own faith journeys.
