Email us: [email protected] this week's episode Josh and Will finish up the second of a two part look at the Coronavirus and how it is impacting both the church and average citizens. Will discusses the Reopen Rallies around the country, and how the desire for expected outcomes (confirmation biases) are fueling conspiracy theories. They have a quick moment of reflection about murder hornets and how it's such a 2020 thing to do. Then finally they end with some coping mechanisms for both secular and non-secular types.Sources referenced in the show:The 'mind-blowing' story of the ex-Green Beret who tried to oust Venezuela's Maduro (https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/mind-blowing-story-ex-green-beret-who-tried-oust-venezuela-n1201981)National Day of Prayer:  (https://www.csmonitor.com/USA/Justice/2011/0414/Legal-challenge-to-National-Day-of-Prayer-thrown-out)Mixed messages - Who has responsibility?Trump says the responsibility belongs to him: April 13th, https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1249712404260421633?s=20Trump says that governors are responsible: https://www.usnews.com/news/politics/articles/2020-04-14/trump-claims-he-has-total-authority-over-reopening-economyCable TV and Coronavirus: How Americans perceive the outbreak and view media coverage differ by main news source | Pew Research Center (https://www.journalism.org/2020/04/01/cable-tv-and-covid-19-how-americans-perceive-the-outbreak-and-view-media-coverage-differ-by-main-news-source/)7 ways to cope with covid: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/hope-resilience/202004/7-ways-cope-covid-19Please check out out our new website: www.faithfulpoliticspodcast.com Support Sarah Stankorb’s work and preorder Damned If She Does: Why Women Quit Church and What It Means for the Future of Religion, Releases September 15, 2026.  Bookshop.org: https://bookshop.org/a/112456/9798889837091Website: https://www.sarahstankorb.com/Support the showKeep the conversation going.Want to learn more about Faithful Politics, suggest a future guest, or connect with us directly?Visit our website:faithfulpoliticspodcast.comBrowse our bookstore, featuring books from many of our guests:faithfulpoliticspodcast.com/bookstoreSupport the show and help us keep these conversations going:patreon.com/cw/FaithfulPoliticsSubscribe for behind-the-scenes content, reflections, and updates:faithfulpolitics.substack.comContact the hosts:Josh Burtram, Faithful Host: [email protected] Wright, Political Host: [email protected] Faithful Politics:Instagram: faithful_politicsFacebook: FaithfulPoliticsPodcast
