Can a Democrat Be a Christian? Plus Our Midterm Picks || w/ Will Chan Wright & Lori Adams-Brown
Can you be a Democrat and a Christian? For some of our friends in the church, the answer seems to be no.
Recorded live on Substack the Friday before Election Day, with two friends who host shows of their own: Lori Adams-Brown of A World of Difference and Will Chan Wright of Faithful Politics. We get into why candidates like James Talarico and Adam Hamilton have their faith questioned, why a handful of issues soak up so much of the church’s moral attention, and how Christians are doing on empathy. Then come the risky predictions: the House, a Senate lightning round, and whether the polls can be trusted. To close, we ask whether there’s a path forward for the church in America.
