Faith in the Public Square with Brian Kaylor and Beau Underwood

Brian Kaylor and Beau Underwood, authors of Baptizing America: How Mainline Protestants Helped Build Christian Nationalism, joined me for a live-streamed conversation where we discussed the book and a bunch of listener questions inspired by their recent lectures linked below. Lecture One: How Mainline Protestants Helped Build Christian Nationalism Lecture Two: How Mainline Protestants Still Perpetuate Christian Nationalism In the face of a rising threat to both church and democracy, "Baptizing America" provides an urgent examination and an enlightening critique exposing the dangerous undercurrents of Christian Nationalism. How can Mainline Protestants spot such practices in their own activities? A crucial call to reckon with influences before it's too late.

Beau Underwood is senior minister at Allisonville Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in Indianapolis, Indiana, and a Senior Editor with Word&Way.
