The Elephant in the Room: Evangelicals, White Nationalism, and the GOP

from Holy Ghosting · host Meg & Sarai

SURPRISE! We couldn't stay quiet about politics...so we're sharing a bonus episode! Our advice in a nutshell? Vote your VALUES.If you “search engine” * the term “What should I NEVER talk about?” you’ll get a lot of lists. Most of those lists include sex, death, money, and especially religion and politics. Unfortunately, for those consumed with propriety, this podcast pretty much covers all of them at one point or another.In this episode, join your favorite throuple, Lindsay, Meg, and Sarai, to learn about how their Evangelical upbringing informed (or misinformed, more accurately) the shape of their political lives and choices. From being raised on a steady diet of Rush Limbaugh to using Christian Voter Guides -- codename: “how to be a Republican no matter how far it leads you from your supposed ‘biblical worldview’ -- to how the three of them have unraveled themselves from the entanglement of the church and the right-wing in America. Important sidebars and rabbit** trails this episode include: health care is a human right, Oregon-specific political rants, and the strange affection Lindsay and Sarai both harbor toward the fearfully departed Limbaugh, PLUS a surprise worship song that is sure to tug at your heartstrings. It was written and performed by Kermit The Frog, originally.Want to chat about fun (read: terrible) things like Christian Nationalism (aka White Supremacy and Colonialist Idealism) and wonderful things (read: actually wonderful) like voting by mail? Hit us up.And we’d love, as always, to hear your stories about this work of dismantling your ideologies after Evangelicalism. Or during it, in some cases, which, wow, that is a trip. Or a stumble, depending on who you ask.TikTok @holyghostingIG @holyghostingpod*looking at you, Google, you don’t get a mention unless you sponsor this podcast**don't worry there isn't another terrible story involving a rabbit in this episode (but if you missed that one, check out our Halloween Episode!)Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
