Faithful Politics
Dive into the profound world of Faithful Politics, a compelling podcast where the spheres of faith and politics converge in meaningful dialogues. Guided by Pastor Josh Burtram (Faithful Host) and Will Wright (Political Host), this unique platform invites listeners to delve into the complex impact of political choices on both the faithful and faithless.
Join our hosts, Josh and Will, as they engage with world-renowned experts, scholars, theologians, politicians, journalists, and ordinary folks. Their objective? To deepen our collective understanding of the intersection between faith and politics.
Faithful Politics sets itself apart by refusing to subscribe to any single political ideology or religious conviction. This approach is mirrored in the diverse backgrounds of our hosts. Will Wright, a disabled Veteran and African-Asian American, is a former atheist and a liberal progressive with a lifelong intrigue in politics. On the other hand, Josh Burtram, a Conservative Republican and devoted Pastor, brings a passion for theology that resonates throughout the discourse.
Yet, in the face of their contrasting outlooks, Josh and Will display a remarkable ability to facilitate respectful and civil dialogue on challenging topics. This opens up a space where listeners of various political and religious leanings can find value and deepen their understanding.
So, regardless if you're a Democrat or Republican, a believer or an atheist, we assure you that Faithful Politics has insightful conversations that will appeal to you and stimulate your intellectual curiosity. Come join us in this enthralling exploration of the intricate nexus of faith and politics. Add us to your regular podcast stream and don't forget to subscribe to our YouTube Channel.

The Real Conversation Jesus Wants Us to Have with Regina V. Cates
Many people struggle with reconciling their faith with the institutional church. In this episode, we sit down with Regina V. Cates, author of The Real Conversation Jesus Wants Us to Have: A Call to Bravery, Peace, and Love, to explore the tensions between Jesus' teachings and modern Christianity. Regina shares her personal journey growing up in a fundamentalist church, wrestling with messages of exclusion, and ultimately redefining her understanding of faith, love, and God. We discuss the historical context of scripture, the challenges of questioning religious authority, and why Jesus' core message of love remains a radical call to action. Whether you're deconstructing your faith or simply looking for a deeper conversation about spirituality, this episode offers a thought-provoking discussion on love, integrity, and justice.
