Summary

Dear Humans,

This week I was joined by Joy Reid!

Joy-Ann Reid is an award-winning journalist, bestselling author, and one of the most trusted progressive voices in media. Known for her fearless commentary and deep insight into race, politics, and culture, she previously hosted The ReidOut and AM Joy on MSNBC. She’s also the author of multiple books, including the New York Times bestsellers The Man Who Sold America and Medgar and Myrlie.

On this episode of the God Pod:

Joy shares her thoughts on Harvard, her love of Star Trek (and God, of course, takes the opportunity to gush about Andor), the absurd Elon vs. Donald feud, what it’ll really take to fight back, and why we all need to understand that we are in a war for the soul of mankind.

Don’t forget: God and Jesus stream daily. Catch God Pod LIVE every weekday at 2 PM ET / 11 AM PT.
