Season 1 Episode 6
Show Notes:
In this episde, Lindsay and I talk about our impressions of Trump and the evangelical reponse. This is an informal conversation filled with impressions, obersavations and feeling and thus is not to be listened to as a “record of what happened,” rather, it’s more appropriate to think of it as being included in one of our post dinner or early morning conversations, as we tend to do. I have tried to include relevant links that you can click through as topics come up in the conversation to give more color (and more importantly, accuracy) to our conversation.
Editorial Corrections
- The shooting mentioned was in Charleston (June 2015, not Charlotte) and the event mentioned in question was in Charlottesville (August, 2017) regarding our house church prayer.
- I (Robert) was wrong, the Bible was right side up: Did Trump Hold the Bible Upside Down?
