The question is often asked on this podcast, ""We have a church on every corner in Alabama, but those churches have done little to nothing to slow the spread of radical progressive ideas into our institutions and culture. Why is that?""

Today, we are bringing you one of the greatest contemporary Christian authors and cultural commentators of our day, Eric Metaxas, to answer this question.

Metaxas was in Birmingham as the keynote speaker at 1819 News’ inaugural Albert Patterson Gala to specifically call attention to the need for Christians to truly engage in the culture war, including politics. It was his answer to the question that made him the perfect speaker for our first major event.

On this podcast, the author of Bonhoeffer and Letter to the American Church sits down with CEO Bryan Dawson to share how he believes it’s absolutely critical to get churches playing leading roles in the culture war and how he thinks it can be done. As Metaxas shared, if we’re going to win this culture war and its political implications, churches must engage.

If you’ve been watching what’s been happening and wondering why Alabama churches are often so quiet on these issues, you’ll want to listen to this podcast and share it widely – especially to your church’s leadership.

Overtime Segment: Eric and Bryan discuss Trump's appointments and what they indicate for the nature of his second term as President of the United States.
