Ep 85: American Civil Religion- How Did We Get Here? w/ Adam Russell & The Ferment Podcast

The week after the storming of the U.S. Capitol, I talked with my friend Adam Russell on The Ferment podcast about the historical, theological, & psychological reasons for the development of "Culture War Christianity" and American Civil Religion. How did we get here as Christians in America? What can we do differently in our church communities? This conversation was released last week on The Ferment podcast and I'm re-airing here this week as I recover from COVID 19. Adam has been on Deep Talks several times before. Most recently in Episode 61, where you can hear more of his story and bio.  Here's the link to that convo:https://www.podbean.com/ew/pb-ieq4a-dcee40 If you find this podcast to be helpful and you want to see it continue ad-free, would you consider becoming a supporter on Patreon?
