How We Approach These Conversations

Faithful Politics creates space for thoughtful, respectful dialogue across political and theological differences. We prioritize context, evidence, and lived experience over outrage or soundbites.

Meet the Hosts

Faithful Politics is that rare podcast where you never know quite what you're going to get. Will and Josh aim to engage a wide range of thinkers, political identities, and theologies in good-faith conversations about American religion and politics. Civil discourse is difficult in polarized times, yet this is a podcast that models it on a weekly basis.
