How White Evangelicals Corrupted the United States of America

Kristin Kobes Du Mez is the author of Jesus and John Wayne, How White Evangelicals Corrupted a Faith and Fractured a Nation, a professor of history at Calvin University, Research Fellow, Center for Philosophy of Religion, and received her Ph.D at the University of Notre Dame. In this discussion we discuss how evangelicals used athletes to broaden their movement, why John Wayne and other celebrities were sought out to promote evangelicalism, why evangelicals love war, refrain from accountability, and the impacts of election wins from Ronald Reagan and Barack Obama (which led to Donald Trump).
