Summary

Many of us have a lot of feelings post-election, so today we’re staging a debate about whether or not you should stay in relationship with people who voted differently than you. In this Favored or Forsaken episode, Evan presents a case for staying, Jamie comes in with an opposing view, and Erin moderates. Spoiler alert: it’s not as easy as picking one side. We’ll also close out the episode by sharing what is favored for us right now! MENTIONS Looking for the best community online?

0:15.0	Bible scholar, Aaron Moon. Faith Adjacent is the podcast where we try to understand the modern
0:19.0	dynamics of faith through a confined commitment to uncomfortable honesty, authentic weirdness, and critical things. Joining me today are,
