Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

E73: Faith, Power, and the Making of Christian Nationalism: A Conversation with Brian Kaylor and Beau Underwood
Q: What cautions do you offer about analyzing religious influence in public policy without coercion?
The guests argue that faith can inform civic life and democratic values, but it should not demand that others adopt a particular religion to participate in public life; policy arguments should stand on inclusive, non-coercive grounds that respect constitutional separation of church and state.
E73: Faith, Power, and the Making of Christian Nationalism: A Conversation with Brian Kaylor and Beau Underwood
Q: How did the pledge to add 'under God' come to be, and what does that tell us about religious nationalism in America?
The discussion recounts how a Baptist minister's sermon influenced broad national consensus to add 'under God' to the Pledge of Allegiance, with rapid dissemination across media and even at theaters, illustrating how religious rhetoric can translate into public policy and national identity.
E73: Faith, Power, and the Making of Christian Nationalism: A Conversation with Brian Kaylor and Beau Underwood
Q: What is Christian nationalism, and how do you define it for a broad audience?
Christian nationalism is described as fusing American identity with a specific Christian identity, particularly conservative, to the point that being a good American means being a good Christian, sacralizing the nation and often excluding others. It is explained that this worldview can be anti-democratic and coercive when used to shape policy or civic life.
e78 Earthbound: God and the Intersection of Climate and Justice: A Conversation w/Grace Ji-Sun Kim
Q: But first, Grace, just what's important to know about you these days? Tell us a few things that, what should we know about you?
Grace discusses growing up Korean-Canadian, embracing her heritage, and how her culture informs her writing and theology, including her work on Earthbound and her experience as a professor and author.
e82: Sacred Curiosity: A Conversation with Britney Winn Lee
Q: How do you approach scripture in a curious way?
She explains reframing scripture with humility and multiple layers, rejecting a single authoritative posture and embracing ongoing questioning to uncover deeper histories and meanings.
