Summary

In this TALKS Episode, Tim engages with Dara Starr Tucker, a musician and radio host, discussing her journey from a Pentecostal upbringing to questioning her faith and navigating the complexities of race and politics within the church. They explore the impact of Trumpism on evangelicalism and the importance of critical thinking in faith.
