I'm going to Hello, my name is Brad O'Nishi, so as a professor of Religious Studies, Skidmore College. This is Straightwide American Jesus hosted and produced in partnership with the cap center at the

University of California Santa Barbara and today here with my co-host.

I'm Dan Miller, Associate Professor of Religion and Social Thought, at Landmark College.

So good to see you, Brad, as always, as we do this from like opposite coasts.

Well, and so before we do anything today, Dan, we, you know, folks are always looking for good news at this point so you got

some good news yesterday and I think people should celebrate with you a book under

We've talked about a talk that I'm giving next week

Christian nationalism and so many of the themes you and I have been talking about and

things that you and I have been saying that you know regardless of what happens here in just under two weeks with the election,

all this stuff is still going to be with this. So I'm excited to have that coming out and
