Daniel and Bekah talk about the possibility of an evangelical future without Trumpism, not by burning it down and starting over, but by looking into history and finding the missed opportunities and the better stories that died on the vine because no one nourished them. When he's not editing news (including Bekah's work) for Christianity Today, Daniel is writing about evangelicalism as social religious movement. Daniel doesn't let Bekah write anybody off, but instead asks whether the imagination and infrastructure of evangelicalism could be directed toward a better future.
