Episode 73: Cowboy Evangelicalism The Way of Improvement Leads Home: American History, Religion, Politics, and Academic life.

What does it mean to be a man in white evangelical Christianity? In this episode we talk with historian Kristin Kobes Du Mez, author of Jesus and John Wayne: How White Evangelicals Corrupted a Faith and Fractured a Nation.
