How can we know who’s right and who’s wrong? Is there any hope for Christian Nationalists? My friend and classmate Daniel Rogers shares his experience with the cognitive dissonance he encountered as a Bible-thumping fundamentalist that ultimately led him to a whole new way of being and loving. The catalyst? Fruit. Our conversation is sometimes goofy, sometimes profound, but always comes back to Jesus’ teaching: you shall know them by their fruit.

How do we change our minds and hearts? The Rev. Dr. David N. Moore, Jr. believes in the power of storytelling to catalyze our awakening. But what about when, despite our best efforts, people refuse to budge? David challenges Anni to expect to encounter our modern-day Judases, and to use her time to find chosen family instead of trying to make everyone happy in the name of diplomacy and unity. Drawing from Jesus’ teachings about judgement, David asserts that what will ultimately save the world is self-aware folks properly judging the world and calling for justice.
