Who to Trust in 2024: An Interview with NYT Columnist David French

What’s the average American citizen to do when political parties can’t agree on basic facts? How can we avoid cynicism while seeking truth? I invited my friend David French to help us learn to engage politically from a place of wisdom, alertness and resistance to fear-based rhetoric.

David guides us toward a spiritual theology on hot topics like:

1. Christian nationalism vs. Christian engagement with politics

2. Information addiction vs. knowing enough to love and serve our neighbors

3. Voting as a Christian act—and how to decide on a candidate

David’s unique combination of faith, political research, and years of experience informs how we can faithfully inhabit these next seven months and the subsequent transition of power.
