This episode of the Faithful Presence Podcast finds our founder Rev. Michael Langer in conversation with Dr. Amy Black, political science professor at Wheaton College and author of Civil Religion and the Renewal of American Politics. Amy's also one of Faithful Presence's first senior fellows, and the two dig into what it actually looks like to bring your faith into political life: why Scripture's wisdom for the public square doesn't expire with the century or stop at the border, why treating politics as more important than God is its own kind of idolatry, and why the fruit of the Spirit, not just our convictions, ought to shape how we engage.
