Description

Whether you are finding yourself over-invested in or completely jaded by the drama of American politics, this is the episode for you. Bill Haslam is the former Mayor of Knoxville and Governor of Tennessee, and the author of Faithful Presence: The Promise and the Peril of Faith in the Public Square. For Governor Haslam, the work of the Christian in politics is to exercise faithful presence--neither withdrawing, nor assimilating with the broader culture. Haslam offers refreshing, and often surprising insights from his own experience in politics, and invites us ask "how do we [as Christians] act in a different way [in politics] so that we really are salt and light in the public square?"

This podcast seeks to fire the imagination of Christians who long to practice their faith at work. The podcast features interviews of people who try to practice their faith at work. Guests may be famous or unknown. They may be very successful, quietly faithful, or instructive in their woes. We typically interview mature Christians, but there are exceptions. The common thread is a desire to live by one’s faith and convictions. Guests include professional athletes, award-winning broadcasters, a librarian, a surgeon, a Harvard-educated opioid addict, politicians, and more.
