For White Evangelicals, The Identity Is About More Than Religious Faith

Kristin Kobes Du Mez, a history professor at Calvin University and author of "Jesus and John Wayne," dives into the complexities of white evangelical identity. She discusses the alignment of white evangelicals with the Republican Party, exploring how faith and masculinity shape political landscapes, especially during the Trump era. The conversation also covers the evolution of evangelical responses to political figures and the community's polarization post-Trump. Ultimately, Du Mez sheds light on the enduring influence of evangelicalism in a secularizing America.
