This is an excerpt from the audio version of my book, Redemptive Deconstruction: A Critical Examination of Evangelical Christianity That Doesn't Lead to Atheism or Progressive Extremism. In this podcast, we examine part one of my chapter on The Church and Politics. In it, we look at a brief history of the American political system, the influential groups in politics, political extremism, and how to reevaluate our approach to American politics.
