christian books and magazines, contemporary christian music, christian radio and television, feature films ministry conferences, blogs teachers home to core evangelicals are hard pressed to articulate even the most basic tenants of evangelical theology have nonetheless done that in this evangelical popular culture. they've raised focus of the radio programs are grown up walking cartoons. they blacked out a meager income of the newsboys, they learned about purity before they learned about facts and have a silver ring to prove it. they watch the passion of the christ, soul surfer or the latest kirk cameron film they attended promise keepers with guys from church and read wild at heart in small groups. they learned more from pat roberson, joyce meyer in the gospel coalition than they have from their own pastor sunday sermon. so by taking evangelical consumer culture seriously that's when we can start to see the values have been instilled throughout conservative white evangelicalism. a sad couple what we see only look at popular culture we see what religious formation is taking place. fr

in the piece you ask why is it that white evangelical christianity has become political?ing, how did it answer your question? >> thanks for having me on, geoff. several things make it a complicated subject. it was a convergence of a number of factors. once, in the early '70s and early '80s, evangelicals in particular weighed on politics, and over time politics became central to their identity, really actually more central, i would say, to their identity than their faith. i think a lot of people didn't know that, they weren't aware of it. i think sociology and culture and politics became the interpretive lenses where they understood faith. i think a deep fear if you talk to evangelical christians, a direction the culture is going in. when you are seize by a lot of fear, that capitalizes on a lot of bad things, including hate. a couple other things, grievance and see resentments that have been part of the evangelical culture for many years. and the last thing i would say as part of a feedback loop of social media, cable news, people are getting 15 to 20, 30 hours a week of

good evening to you, christian. yes, i— we get? good evening to you, christian.? good evening to you, christian. yes, i do. i- we get? good evening to you, christian. yes, i do. ivividlyl christian. yes, i do. ivividly remember back in the late 1990s when a deranged person entered the united states capitol and shot a bunch of people in the office of tom delay. you fast—forward to the incident in alexander virginia a few years ago where a deranged individual once again shot up a ballpark and shot four members of congress, a lobbyist and a staffer. and you have to ask yourself the question, is that the vocation i would want to get into if i am doing my duties or practising for a congressional baseball game, that someone could harm me or county. of course i do believe on either side of the atlantic ocean that many people are questioning whether or not they want to engage and remain in public service stop get in a staffer in the past four ohio congressmanjohn casey. you know what it's like at the sharp end. ., ., , ., , end. how does it work? is it as open and free a

particularly in politics, okay, the christian position on this issue. some things, it is really clear. we are supposed to be concerned. we are supposed to be the board. it does not tell us how to do that. and, so, one of the points of making the book, hey, this is really clear. that is not up for debate. help me do that in terms of the economic system, i think that that is up for debate. that is where we should engage fully to get to the best answer. to your question, circumstances, where i was called to have a faithful presence, i think this is what i would classify as risk. it is having think humility to know that you may not be right. my first ever political boss was when i was an intern in college and worked for senator harold baker who which a senator for tennessee. to be ronald reagan's chief of staff. an ambassador to japan under george h.w. bush. and, baker had a thing that said, always remember that the other fellow might be right. he was from a little country town north of knoxville. that was his way of saying, i will work my hardest to rememb

but now christian, a ministry has an ethical decision to make, do they pay it in risk funding? the kidnapping machine in haiti, or do they refuse and risk the lives of the missionaries they sent there? at the white house president joe biden is getting updates on what he's both a crisis for the missionaries families and a criminal case. the f, b r a is a part of a coordinated u. s. government effort to get the u. s. citizens involved to safety. all gangs have stepped up their campaign of kidnapping, extortion, and sexual violence across large parts of haiti. u. s. a visual say they've been trying to help the government cope with the problem. we realize what a priority this is for the people of haiti, and that's why we have provided funding to the tune of $312000000.00 in assistance over the last decade. alone to strengthen law enforcement and capacity of the haitian national police and to maintain peace and stability throughout the country . even so you as soon as ends have been repeatedly warned against visiting haiti because of the violence and instability. president giovano m

those christian missionaries are usually based. so what more have you heard john about this ransom and about the group behind the kidnapping? well, this gang 400 no, was 0. which means $400.00 simpleton has placed the price of a life at $1000000.00. that's a total of $17000000.00 for each of the 5 men, 7 women, and 5 children who have been held hostage after being taken outside for the prince, where they were building an orphanage. it's not clear whether that will be the ultimate number or whether that number will be paid. this becomes an ethical problem for christian aid ministries here in this country in ohio, because they ask people for money and they get about $130000000.00 every year from various donors around the world. and those donors aren't necessarily going to want their money used to fund this kidnapping machine that is going out of control in haiti. what we know about that group is that they've kidnapped a number of people before, but sometimes those people have been abused physically, sexually. sometimes they've been d

outside the headquarters where those christian missionaries are normally based. so tell us more about this ransom, john, and also the group behind this kidnapping. fully that ransom amounts to a $1000000.00 for each and every one of the 5 men, 7 women, and 5 children who were kidnapped in haiti. and we've learned a little more about them because we just received within the last hour a statement from christian aid ministries, in the ages of the adults who have been held captive range from $18.00 to $48.00. the ages of the children are 8 months, 3 years, 6 years, 13 years, and 15 years that they ask for you to give prayers for those who have been kidnapped and saying, pray that our workers could respond to hatred with jesus his love. now, this is an organization that takes about $130000000.00 in donations each year. it gets those from all around the world, people who want to contribute, and a lot of them are people from this area. that means they are often on issue mennonite, those conservative religious people, many of whom, right? and horses and buggies and wear
