These two subjects ostensibly run every aspect of our life, from creating the framework of how society is ran to define our basic understanding of morality and well It’s a tragedy that these two topics are so taboo and discouraged at work or around the dining room table.Could it be that people have such a cultural, social , and even spiritual investment into their beliefs or political ideology that to question it...question something that is so deeply rooted in their personal identity...is to question their very existence? Maybe so. But I actually think that people want to talk about these things but either don’t know how to or are unsure how others will receive it. Well that’s why Faithful Politics exists and it’s what I hope to accomplish with this podcast. My name is Will Wright, political junkie and analyst and joining me in this social experiment is Joshua Burtram, lead pastor of Short Pump Community Church, in Short Pump, Virginia. I’ve only known Josh for a few months, so to be honest, I don’t know exactly where he stands on certain issues.  But that’s part of the experiment there will be some things we agree on and other things we may not. Together we’ll talk about current events and stories that center around religion and politics and hopefully do it in a way that allows us to make strong arguments, but also help build stronger relationships between us and some of the other guests we hope to have on the show down the road. You will get a front row seat to the birth of a relationship between Josh and myself. But more importantly, you’ll get to listen to two people discuss religion and politics while respecting, not vilifying, each other.  This is Faithful Politics, and I hope you’ll join us. Join the conversation!You can find us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/FaithfulPoliticsPodcast 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
