Hi, friends! Welcome back to another week of Wear We Are. It's been an absolutely *wild* week in American domestic politics and we focus in on two big news items of the week: the scuttling of the Ukraine/Israel funding & border security bill, plus the release of Special Counsel Robert Hur's report on then-VP Biden's storing of classified government documents. Each story has its twists, and both news items signify just how complicated the 2024 election will be for voters. We explain it all, and we hope it helps you think through the headlines.
The Spirit of Our Politics is now available to buy! You can get it at Amazon, Bookshop.org, Barnes & Noble, Christianbook.com, Audible, Libro.Fm, Google Play, Books-A-Million, Walmart, Church Source, Faith Gateway, or at your favorite local bookstore.

Welcome back, friends! Loads going on in the news, but so much we would want to discuss is in-flux, so we will wait for the dust to settle before we provide you with analysis next week. This week, it's all about a brand new concept: Political Therapeutic Deism. If you've heard of Moral Therapeutic Deism, it's a play on that terminology. We explain what this term means, what it doesn't mean, and how it might be a helpful frame in your day-to-day life, especially as you read the news, hear chatter at church, or discuss politics with a friend. If you're also concerned about Christian Nationalism, we discuss the connections in this episode.
If you want a deeper dive into our thoughts on Christian Nationalism, check out Episode 55.
The Spirit of Our Politics is now available to buy! You can get it at Amazon, Bookshop.org, Barnes & Noble, Christianbook.com, Audible, Libro.Fm, Google Play, Books-A-Million, Walmart, Church Source, Faith Gateway, or at your favorite local bookstore.
