I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the show. The content has been insightful and conversation very engaging.
I would like to recommend that you interview Jonathan Leeman. He has written both at a popular (How the Nations Rage) and more academic level (Political Church) regarding this topic and seems to be one of the leading voices in the reformed evangelical community. I think many would benefit from the conversation.
The first episodes of the podcast have been superb! The discussions have been lively and informative. I am looking forward to future episodes as Leithart and Wood seek to flesh out what an ecclesiocentric post-liberal political theology looks like.
I desperately want to love this podcast. The subject is of great interest to me and I’ve accepted Peter into my heart more than once, but this isn’t getting it done. There needs to be a better laid foundation of purpose, concepts and definitions. The latest episode with D.C.

A deep-due, idea-driven program about Christian political theology, focusing on how liberalism and post-liberal thought shape public life, ecclesiology, and civil society. Episodes often center on unity and division within the church, the role of religion in shaping political orders, and critiques of secular liberal frameworks, while inviting scholars and thinkers who bridge theology, history, and public philosophy. A standout is the consistently ecumenical, historically informed approach that mixes autobiography, doctrinal discussion, and practical prescriptions for a more faithful public witness. Potential listeners who enjoy rigorous intellectual dialogue on church-state relations, modern political theory, and the costs and commitments o... more
