The 2024 election is shaping up to be the most consequential and unusual political showdown in at least a generation, with the historic elements emerging on a near-daily basis.
From former President Donald Trump’s felony conviction to the consequential debate between Trump and current President Joe Biden, the situation keeps on intensifying.
With so many eyes on the American political landscape, Christian Post reporter Ian Giatti has launched “Politics in the Pews,” a new investigative podcast aimed at exploring the electoral landscape through conversations with top Evangelical voices from across the political spectrum.
The show, which launched Friday, July 12 across podcast platforms (subscribe here), investigates the history and influence of the Evangelical movement in American politics, where churches and Christian leaders stand — and more.
“With just months to go until Americans head to the polls, the first-ever criminal for a former U.S. president may have had the opposite political effect one might expect in any other traditional election cycle,” Giatti says in the premiere episode, exploring the variety of opinions unfolding in the Evangelical space on this electoral facet, among many others.
The first episode of “Politics in the Pews” brings together experts like Wayne Grudem, Ralph Reed, Samuel Rodriguez, Jason Yates, and others, to explore Trump, his relationship with Evangelicals, his current standing on the abortion debate — and what’s to come.
In addition to the podcast, a special, in-person “Politics in the Pews” event will take place on Aug. 27 at Fellowship Church in Grapevine, Texas, (tickets are on sale here). This event will help round out the podcast conversation while also digging deeper into some relevant and pertinent electoral subject matter.
With so much on the table and so many uncharted waters, the 2024 election is certain to take more twists and turns. “Politics in the Pews” will explore the role Christians play, and why it’s essential for every person of faith to get out and vote this November.
