Great storytelling, but may not do enough to dispel stereotypes
To be fair, it’s my own bias that causes me to desire media outlets to search harder for “moderate” evangelical Christians. As someone that takes my Christian faith very seriously, I see a trend toward a perception that religion (specifically Christianity) and politics are mutually inclusive. I embrace the historical definition of being evangelical, yet recognize that most Christians are actually some hybrid version of this. I recognize the Bible gives some guidelines for governance, but more strongly exhorts followers of “The Way” as being held to standards that are not influenced by civic authorities. Heath and Jimmy tell a compelling story, and the individuals they interview are more than happy to propel their message that all “true” Christians should be cut from the same cloth. I wish the evangelical zeitgeist didn’t support such generalized and stereotypical ideas about Biblical Christianity.

I am a conservative libertarian living in Southern Idaho and I find this new right extremely concerning. So much so I switched my party affiliation from libertarian to Republican so I can vote against crazy eye McGeachin in the primary.

A grounded and thorough take on the rise of the far right and its implications for communities across the country. Excellent reporting and production.
