Sexvangelicals


Mar 19, 2024

It's been really fascinating to watch the ways that Evangelical, Mormon, and Pentecostal (EMPish) cultures have begun to be deconstructed and discussed on a wider cultural level. 
 
While some still struggle to accurately name the direct correlation between EMPish cultures and the construction of the modern-day Republican Party, NPR national correspondent Sarah McCammon (@sarahmccammon_journalist) discusses the strategy and implementation of rigid conservative values in her new book The Exvangelicals: Loving, Living, and Leaving the White Evangelical Church.
 
In part 1 of a 2 part interview, Sarah talks with us about: 
  • Trump and Evangelicals
  • The rise of the religious Nones
  • Two target audiences
  • The purpose of The Exvangelicals
  • Fear of Judgement 
  • Empathy and Honesty 
  • Why People Stay in EMPish Spaces 
  • Lack of Goodbyes 
  • Christianity and Inclusivity
  • Promises Unfulfilled 
  • Salem Witch Trials and Christian Textbooks
The Exvangelicals comes out this week--buy it on Amazon!
