Welcome to the conversationsations that Matter Podcast. My name is John Harris. We're

going to talk about something I've mentioned before today the Coalition Building

Strategy, the Coalition Building Strategy that is going on right now and it's not just an

evangelicalism it's beyond that but I think about it in an evangelical context those who are

not social justice driven people. They're concerned.

Most of them you don't know who they are because they're silent they're afraid of the

buzz saw coming canceling them and or just whatever repercussions

negative repercussions would come their way and and some of them who want to

kind of step out want to see you know something done will kind of inch out

slowly look around make sure there's other people

with him okay yeah I'm not too far from the center usually they feel

comfortable if some if there's someone else who's charged and gone way

out there that's kind of made room for them because they like to feel like they're the

moderates they don't they don't like to be on the extreme right because if they are you

know that's just an uncomfortable place to be and they're gonna get all the

negative press and and so if they can kind of slowly inch out and do it with other people and not ruffle the you know the feathers too much not really not capsize the boat.

Just kind of let the boat keep smooth sailing

towards social justice.

But, you know, try to just change that sale ever so slightly.

So we just kind of veer off a little bit you know that's that

that progressive kind of what I mean I mean gradual not progressive in a political sense but

that gradual kind of trying to diminish risk to oneself and do it with other people.
