Tariffs, a Christian response to cancel culture, and hope in the midst of political turmoil.
This week, Paul D. Miller joins Russell, Mike, and Clarissa to talk about tit-for-tat tariffs between the US and China, and about why this isn’t just a story about our pocketbooks but one for the church pews as well. Then, Matthew Lee Anderson stops by to discuss a Christian response to cancel culture. Finally, Justin Giboney joins us to bring some hope. Find out why you don’t need to burn a Tesla in protest—or hide away in your closet until the next four years are over.
