Favored or Forsaken: Ted Lasso, Interior Design, and Pastors as Politicians Aug 13, 2026

Show notes

In this month's Favored or Forsaken, Evan, Jamie, and Knox are asking the important questions: Should Jesus influence your interior design? Should more pastors run for political office? And why are we all watching Ted Lasso again? Plus, we brainstorm industries that Christians should co-opt as well as profiles for who would make ideal political candidates.

As a company, we will make a donation in memory of Erin’s mom, Gwen Hicks, to the foster-care nonprofit she founded, Amarillo Angels. If you would like to join us in honoring her remarkable legacy, head to AmarilloAngels.org to donate in memory of Gwen Hicks with (Faith Adjacent) in parentheses.
