Summary
Conservative Evangelicals are known for voting on the basis of pro-life. But that isn’t what originally catapulted them into politics. In today’s story, a religion professor attends a strange meeting that ultimately sends him on a quest to uncover the history of the political movement known as the Religious Right.

The Love Thy Neighborhood podcast explores the intersection of social action and Christian faith as we follow everyday people doing extraordinary things. Each episode centers around a single theme – such as homelessness, politics or race – and interweaves field reporting, studio interviews and first-person narratives to take a nuanced look at today’s most difficult issues. It is hosted by Jesse Eubanks, Executive Director of Love Thy Neighborhood and produced by Rachel Szabo with sound design by Anna Tran.
