Summary
Description: Immediately after last week's school shooting in Nashville, opportunists used it to advance their favorite culture war narratives. Why does this happen after every tragedy, and why are we more likely to empathize with victims we identify closely with? Then, what impact will Donald Trump's indictment have on the 2024 presidential race? Are his evangelical supporters finally ready to move on? And, can preaching really undo the damage and division caused by cable news and social media? Kaitlyn Schiess interviews the authors of "Preaching to a Divided Nation: A Seven-Step Model for Promoting Reconciliation and Unity." Plus, Levi's goes AI and Christian is having none of it.
