Description
To many, Rob Schenck is THE father of the anti-choice movement. As a young pastor, he drew headlines for a stunt in which a dead fetus was thrust at president Bill Clinton. Later, as you’ll hear, Rob had the ears – and the hearts and pens – of conservative Supreme Court justices. Years later, I had a chance to visit him in his old office – overlooking the windows of the Supreme Court Chambers. Today, Rob has done a complete about-face in his political views, an about-face he revealed in his memoir, Costly Grace. And, as the founder of the Bonhoeffer Institute, he’s fighting the rise in Christian Nationalism.

Brandan Robertson, Religion, Politics & LGBTQ Youth: In the 2022 state legislative sessions across the U.S., 240 bills were introduced that would restrict rights and equality for LGBTQ people. A high number of these bills specifically targeted trans youth. In this episode, we talk with Brandan Robertson to learn about his own experiences growing up in Evangelical Fundamentalist Christianity. Brandon shares his own hatefulness to his LGBTQ peers, to the love and care he experienced in the church– and his own coming-out story and the rejection that followed. by Complexified
