About this episode

This episode continues the exploration of how evangelicalism influences political and spiritual perspectives.

Part II continues the conversation with a deeper look at how evangelicalism shaped political imagination and spiritual formation. It explores transactional faith, the loss of moral imagination, and the need for a third way rooted in participation, original blessing, and unitive centrism.
