When The Wolves Came / Series Description

Over the last decade, large swaths of evangelicals in the U.S. have embraced an extremist politics that threatens to turn our democracy into a theocracy. Through the eyes of one pastor in Phoenix, WHEN THE WOLVES CAME shows how some evangelicals are banding together to fight back – and how their efforts can fit into a bigger movement to defend democracy in the U.S.

Brad and Dan discuss the recent arrest of Mahmoud Khalil, a pro-Palestinian activist and green card holder, by the Trump administration. They dissect comments by Speaker of the House Mike Johnson and delve into the Christian nationalist connections to Khalil’s arrest, notably through Project Esther by the Heritage Foundation. The discussion expands to related educational issues, focusing on actions by the Trump administration to undermine the Department of Education and how these moves align with broader Christian nationalist agendas. Additionally, there’s an analysis of Democratic responses to recent events and what they signify for the future political landscape.
