Dear Friend ,

I wanted you to be one of the first to know about an exciting new season of my podcast, The Soul of the Nation, featuring a series of conversations with 2020 presidential candidates in which we discuss moral questions at the intersection of faith and politics.

We launched the new season this week with a powerful conversation I had with Senator Cory Booker.

LISTEN TO MY CONVERSATION WITH SENATOR CORY BOOKER NOW

Opening up a conversation about faith and public life from many religious perspectives will help dispel the myth that the right owns religion—no one does. The upcoming presidential election is an election about moral choices.

Even Christians who claim they are “not political” will still make a choice to vote for or against the status quo.

From unapologetically faith-expressive candidates to candidates who haven’t talked about their faith at all, this podcast is a home for rich conversations about the role of religion in 2020. In addressing poverty, combatting racism, solving the climate crisis, protecting human dignity or leading with personal integrity, how does faith inform the moral leadership our electorate is desperately seeking?

Listen to my conversation with Senator Booker to hear his thoughts on this and other questions.

You can find the podcast at this link, or you can subscribe to The Soul of the Nation for free wherever you get your podcasts. In the coming weeks, additional episodes with other 2020 presidential candidates will be released on Wednesdays.

LISTEN NOW

In Christ,

Jim Wallis
