Summary

Trump Wins, Good Faith Reacts

America elected a new president, and a familiar administration is poised to return to the White House. What does it all mean for Christians? Host Curtis Chang is joined by "founding friend" David French and public theologian Russell Moore to explore the intense emotions many are experiencing in the wake of this election. Together, they dive into listener questions about the global repercussions of another Trump presidency, the complex feelings some Christians experience about the political choices of fellow believers, and the evolving role of the church in a deeply divided America. Confronting shared experiences of anguish, alienation, and anger, the trio offers thoughtful insights into how we can navigate this challenging landscape of emotions about the known and unknown implications of the vote.

to make sense of it. And I'm glad you've joined us to do this together. Because one of the

0:52.0

things I've come to realize is how much when I'm

confused, anxious, discouraged, and I'm feeling all of those feelings, plus more, I really do need

1:02.1

friends. I do best in making sense of the confusing inner world as well as the external world

1:08.2

that is present right now when I'm doing it with others.

1:50.9

And I can confirm that there is nothing surprising for David in this day, because this is exactly what he's been saying would happen for a very, very long time.

1:55.7

And the reason for some dark gallows humor texts that we've been exchanging among the three of us here.
