012 - David Gushee: After Evangelicalism (pt 1)

In the first part of this 2 part interview I talk to David Gushee about his newest book, After Evangelicalism, offering a vision for a Christian faith that moves beyond white evangelicalism. 

Dr. Gushee is the Distinguished University Professor of Christian Ethics and Director of the Center for Theology and Public Life at Mercer University.

We have a great conversation about what's happening with the decline of evangelicalism, the litmus test of LGBTQ inclusion, a political vision for this moment and beyond this moment, being a part of a church, purity culture and a positive sexual ethic and why White Christianity in America was born in heresy. 

We had some recording issues, so while we don't have our regular audio clarity, we do have our regular thoughtfulness that I think you'll appreciate. 

Part 2 of this interview will be posted in a few days
