Authors
The writers behind this newsletter.
I traveled across America to report on religion + politics for my first book, Red State Christians. Since then, I've continued to listen - to the news, to God, and to everyday people. This newsletter is my attempt to share what I hear.
Public theology in an age of disinformation. Jared Stacy (PhD, University of Aberdeen) is the author of “Reality in Ruins: How Conspiracy Theory Became an American Evangelical Crisis” with HarperOne—available wherever books are sold!
I’m a professor, author, and scholar who is fascinated by religion despite having no religious affiliation of my own.
Pastor Erich is unapologetically Christian, sharing a message filled with hope, faith, and a deep commitment to revolutionary social justice. His words inspire others to believe in the power of radical love and grace.
