    297. TNE TALKS: “Nice Churchy Patriarchy” Aug 19, 2024
    Show notes

    Summary

    Tim and Liz Cooledge Jenkins discuss her book, Nice Churchy Patriarchy: Reclaiming Women's Humanity from Evangelicalism, and her journey unpacking the toxic aspects of conservative evangelicalism. She explores the concept of patriarchy and how it manifests in imbalanced power dynamics and restricts women's agency.


    Takeaways

    • Patriarchy is any structure or system that involves imbalanced power between genders, particularly men and women.
    • Patriarchy restricts women's agency and discourages them from embracing their full humanity.
    • The concept of patriarchy is often disguised as complementarianism in conservative evangelical contexts.
    • The biblical mandates used to justify patriarchal norms are often based on American cultural norms rather than biblical principles.
    • Mainline churches, despite their traditional appearance, often have more progressive and inclusive theology compared to white evangelical churches.
    • Patriarchy is deeply ingrained in both the church and broader society, but it is not impossible to dismantle.
    • Valuing characteristics traditionally associated with femininity, such as empathy and collaboration, is essential for building more inclusive and equitable spaces.
    • Honest conversations, diverse perspectives, and a reevaluation of traditional interpretations of scripture are necessary for challenging and changing patriarchal systems.
    • The intersection of patriarchy and the church requires a critical examination of leadership structures and a commitment to empowering women and other marginalized groups.

    296. TNE RECAPS: Why Christians Are FLOCKING to Vote for Harris-Walz Aug 16, 2024
    Show notes

    In this episode of the New Evangelicals Podcast, Tim and April discuss various topics including Donald Trump's conversation with Elon Musk, the leaked Project 2025 training videos, and the conservative Christian view on climate change. They also touch on the anti-science sentiment within conservative Christianity and the impact it has on shaping policies and beliefs. The hosts provide commentary and humor throughout the episode. In this part of the conversation, Tim and April discuss the weirdness and oddity of certain aspects of right-wing politics, particularly within the evangelical community. They highlight the contradiction between the claim of being pro-family and pro-American while engaging in bizarre and extreme behavior. They mention the Christians for Harris and Evangelicals for Harris groups as examples of this mobilization. They emphasize the importance of thinking about political engagement in a wise and Jesus-centered way, rather than blindly aligning with a particular party. In this final part of the conversation, Tim and April discuss the intolerance and narrow-mindedness often found within evangelical circles.


    Takeaways

    • Donald Trump's conversation with Elon Musk highlights the disconnect between the billionaire class and the average person, despite attempts to portray themselves as 'men of the people'.
    • The leaked Project 2025 training videos reveal the anti-science and conspiracy-driven mindset within conservative circles, particularly regarding climate change and population control.
    • The anti-intellectualism and dogmatic beliefs within conservative Christianity contribute to the rejection of scientific evidence and hinder progress in addressing climate change.
    • It is important to differentiate between conservative evangelical Christians who hold a literal interpretation of the Bible and those who accept scientific evidence and advocate for responsible environmental stewardship.
    • There is a growing mobilization of Christians who are rejecting the Trump-MAGA movement and advocating for a different approach to political discourse.
    • It is important to think about political engagement in a wise and Jesus-centered way, rather than blindly aligning with a particular party.

    Show notes

He talks about Project Amplify, a TNE initiative to counter right-wing media narratives, and the growth of the organization. Tim explores the concept of Christian nationalism and emphasizes the importance of advocating for the common good. He encourages Christians to think critically about their political engagement and to prioritize the teachings of Jesus. Tim concludes by expressing hope for Christians to embrace a more inclusive and nuanced approach to politics.


    Takeaways

    • The New Evangelicals (TNE) is growing and working on initiatives like Project Amplify to counter right-wing media narratives and amplify diverse Christian voices.

    • Political engagement should involve holding politicians accountable and working towards a more equitable society, while recognizing the limitations of politicians and the need for ongoing work.
    • Christians should approach politics with a posture of invitation, inviting others to think critically and embrace a more inclusive and nuanced approach to political engagement.

    294. TNE TALKS: Introducing the Ministers of Propaganda Aug 12, 2024
    Show notes

    In this episode, Tim sits down with Scott M. Coley, author of the book, Ministers of Propaganda,and they discuss the concept of legitimizing narratives that are used to justify social arrangements that benefit white evangelicals.


    Takeaways

    • Legitimizing narratives are stories that justify social arrangements and hierarchies.
    • White evangelicals have used the Bible as a source of legitimizing narratives to justify social arrangements that benefit them.
    • The curse of Ham is an example of a legitimizing narrative used to justify race-based chattel slavery and racial segregation.
    • The hermeneutics of legitimization is an approach to biblical interpretation that consistently produces readings of the text that justify the reader's preferred social arrangements.
    • Understanding and challenging these narratives is important for promoting justice and equality. Legitimizing narratives are used to justify and perpetuate harmful ideologies.
    • The defense of slavery and gender hierarchy are examples of self-defeating narratives that appropriate the very ideals they undermine.
    • There is a tension between conservative ideals of family values and fiscal policies.
    • Propaganda plays a significant role in shaping public opinion and can be used to manipulate and control narratives.
    • It is important to critically examine the narratives we encounter and strive for a more just and inclusive approach to interpreting scripture and engaging in politics.

    290. TNE RECAPS: Kamala Harris is Black, Olympics 2024, & Project 2025 Explained Aug 02, 2024
    Show notes

    In this episode of the New Evangelicals Podcast, Tim and April discuss various topics, including the controversy surrounding the Olympic opening ceremony, Trump's remarks at the Believers Summit, and their experience visiting the Ark Encounter. They express frustration with the outrage over trivial matters and the lack of attention given to more important issues. They also highlight the need for Christians to represent Jesus well and focus on issues that truly matter. In this conversation, Tim and April discuss various topics, including the controversy surrounding the Believer's Summit, the problematic views of Doug Wilson, Trump's appearance at the National Association of Black Journalists convention, and the implications of Project 2025. They also touch on the absurd interpretations of the Olympic opening ceremony and announce their attendance at Theology Beer Camp.


    Takeaways

    • The outrage over trivial matters distracts from more important issues that require attention.
    • The focus on cultural controversies often stems from a weak and narcissistic form of evangelicalism.
    • Jesus does not need defending; he needs people to represent him well.
    • The interpretation of Trump's remarks at the Believers Summit can vary, but it is concerning to hear him suggest that Christians won't have to vote again.
    • The outrage over the Olympic opening ceremony reflects a fear and discomfort with people living as their authentic selves.
    • There is a need to prioritize issues such as genocide, poverty, hate, and greed over trivial controversies. The Believer's Summit sparked controversy due to the presence of controversial figures like Doug Wilson, whose views on sex and slavery are highly problematic.
    • Trump's appearance at the National Association of Black Journalists convention was met with criticism, as he evaded direct questions and made insensitive remarks.
    • Project 2025, a conservative playbook, continues to be a cause for concern, despite the director stepping down amid backlash from Trump.
    • Tim and April will be attending Theology Beer Camp, an event that brings together theologians, podcasters, and individuals seeking a better way forward in their faith.
