Description

A Christian campaign spent $20 million on two ads during the Super Bowl, but the “He Gets Us” commercials are facing criticism from both the right and left. One side says the ads did not present the gospel. The other says the campaign’s funders are bigots. And everyone is wondering if the $20 million could have been spent more effectively. Phil, Skye, and Kaitlyn offer their takes. Then, Tim Keller has a new article with his prescription for how Christianity can thrive again in America, but does it all come down to overcoming political idolatry? And a new report from PRRI looks at the sobering data about Christian Nationalism. One-third of Americans are either committed Christian Nationalists or very sympathetic to it, and the majority of them are white evangelicals. Historian Kristen Kobes Du Mez is back to discuss the data and explain the link between Christian Nationalism, patriarchy, and authoritarianism. Plus, a candy factory is sued after workers fall into a chocolate vat.   Patreon Bonus:  Bonus interview with Shane Claiborne - https://www.patreon.com/posts/78696238/  Bonus interview with Kristin Kobes Du Mez - https://www.patreon.com/posts/78701015/    Holy Post merch store - https://www.holypost.com/shop     0:00 -  Intro   3:55 - Workers in a vat of chocolate 6:30 - He gets us   28:46 - American Christianity    Sponsor   56:28 - Faithful Counseling Get 10% off your first month at Faithful Counseling.com/ HOLYPOST    57:37 - Interview Intro   59:00 - Kristin Kobes Du Mez  https://kristindumez.com/ https://twitter.com/kkdumez   1:11:48 - Christian Nationalism and patriarchy   1:29:15 - Demographics   1:32:36 - End Credits Links Mentioned in News Segment   Mars Wrigley fined after two workers fell into a tank of chocolate - https://www.cnn.com/2023/02/13/business/mars-wrigley-chocolate-vat-fine/index.html   He Gets Us - https://hegetsus.com   American Christianity is due for a revival by Timothy Keller - https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2023/02/christianity-secularization-america-renewal-modernity/672948/   Links Mentioned in Interview Segment Jesus and John Wayne by Kristin Kobes Du Mez - https://amzn.to/3xlmodt   Jesus and John Wayne Holy Post Subseries - https://www.holypost.com/articles/categories/jesus-john-wayne   A Christian Nation?
