Phil Vischer and Skye Jethani: Navigating Faith, Politics, and Humor

Can you do insider critique with a sense of humor?  You might know Phil Vischer as the creator of the beloved children’s show VeggieTales, or Skye Jethani for his work as a pastor, speaker, and author. Both of them are long-time public Christian voices.  These days, though, they find themselves hosting the Holy Post podcast, doing the hard work of insider critique of a Christian subculture that, in recent years, has boiled over with white nationalism, Trumpism, and many forms of injustice. In this episode, they discuss how they try to do their work with intelligence, care, and humor.  Show Notes  Resources:  The Holy Post  “What If Jesus Was Serious about Justice?” by Skye Jethani  Francis Collins on Stephen Colbert  Similar Episodes:  Russell Moore and David French: How Should Christians Do Politics?  David French: Conservatism Without Trumpism  Francis Collins: The Road to Wisdom in an Age of Distrust  Transcript  Want more NSE?
