She’s finally here! Bible teacher and author Beth Moore joins Kaitlyn Schiess to discuss her new memoir, her calling, and how she found the courage to speak out against the political idolatry of evangelical leaders in 2016. Moore says she learned how to put her faith in Christ himself rather than in Christian people. Also this week, we discuss the revival at Asbury University that’s attracted 20,000 people to a small town in Kentucky—including a lot of Christian celebrities. Is it a genuine movement of God’s Spirit, or a product of social media spin? Could it be both? Plus, a Christian professor discovers why “Florida is where woke goes to die,” evangelicals rejected Jimmy Carter for being too nice, and the Grinch who stole Easter.

Now that I have read All My Knotted-up Life, a second listen of the interview is in order. If you haven't read Beth's book, you are missing out.
And I didn't think the discussion about Asbury was cynical.
Thank you for the wonderful interview with Beth Moore. As she talked about women's ministry I heard echoes of my own mother (who is now with Jesus) in her ministry in her local church. Thank you for that, and the rest of the interview as well. I have to share this with several women in my life.
This is a perfect example that gets my vote for the separation into 2 episodes. It is much easier to share the interview with people who don't listen regularly, and may not be interested in the news portion, if they are separated.
On the 'woke' ideology, isn't the etymology implying one is suddenly aware of the true reasons disparities persist? The ideology is not unique in recognizing disparities or by acknowledging the past injustices which led to bad outcomes. Rather, wokeness is unique in emphasizing current and systemic discrimination as the reason disparities persist. It downplays the role of personal agency and decision making. Many reasonable people would consider these philosophies contrary to Christian teaching. But far more concerning is that woke philosophy inevitably leads to highly damaging public policy. If the cause of crime is racism and poverty, then why punish the wrongdoer? Larry Krasner's tenure as Philadelphia DA is a good example of woke policies, and the objective resu…
I resonate with many of your frustrations with evangelicalism, but I've been kind of thrown by just how cynical the last few episodes have been.
I listened to this episode and came away thinking, huh, maybe there's a revival at Asbury.
Then I listened to an atheist reporter on Bari Weiss's Honestly podcast covering the same thing and found myself literally on my knees in tears in the middle of my kids' bedroom praying for renewal and revival. I certainly skew towards over-intellectualizing things whenever possible, so this was... an unusual experience for me. But I mention it to you, since I feel like it highlights how deeply and perniciously cynicism is pervading your overall dynamic right now. (And let…
