The impact of young evangelicals in American politics ft. Ryan Burge

Does evangelicalism hold up in public? ft. Michael Wear

Young people today are looking around and wondering whether it's worth holding onto their Christian beliefs in society. Some feel like they have to quarantine their beliefs to be respectful among their peers. Michael Wear is helping evangelicals reclaim their faith message in society as they pursue positions of leadership. Drawing from Neighborly Faith's new study of over 500 young evangelicals, Kevin and Michael discuss the friction that young Christians are facing in society between their faith and their reputation, and why it's critical that their faith remains central if they are to be agents of depolarization.

Are young evangelicals into angry politics?

Few know better than Dr. Daniel Bennett about how young evangelicals are approaching politics. As Chair of the political science department at John Brown University, he meets with students every day who are navigating America's tense political landscape and wondering where they fit. In this episode we discuss whether evangelical college students are frustrated and/or paranoid about their reputation as evangelical voters, why they study political science in the first place, and why they're listening to such diverse political influences. Daniel discusses his new book coming out soon, with an emphasis on looking to Jesus, who "has overcome to the world," when engaging with politics. This episode is a continuation of our brand new series exploring our recent study, Who is influencing young Evangelicals on politics? [https://www.neighborlyfaith.org/evangelicals-politics-report]

The question that remains is how young evangelicals factor into this equation -- and this is the question Kevin tackles with Ryan in this exciting kick-off episode of a brand new series exploring our recent study, Who is influencing young Evangelicals on politics?
