Here, we invite you to sit and tune into unreserved, remarkable conversations with renown authors, leaders, public figures and scholars on religion, culture and everything in-between. This has been a dream of mine for many years and now it is. reality. Please join me at madang. This is the ninth episode of madang where I converse with Dr. Kristin Du Mez.

She has written for The New York Times, The Washington Post, NBC News, Religion News Service, and Christianity Today, and has been interviewed on NPR, CBS, and the BBC, among other outlets. Her most recent book is Jesus and John Wayne: How White Evangelicals Corrupted a Faith and Fractured a Nation. Conversations on motherhood and writing, Christian Nationalism, masculinity, patriarchy, evangelicalism, and Jesus and John Wayne, and more.
