Why do many white evangelicals, despite holding tremendous political power, feel threatened by feminism, LGBTQ progress, and movements for racial justice? Sarah Diefendorf, author of The Holy Vote: Inequality and Anxiety Among White Evangelicals, joins us to discuss how evangelicals’ anxieties shape their political involvement. We explore their image problem among younger Americans who are turned off by their reactions to societal changes, how they are recruiting new people to their churches, and how white evangelicals are responding to issues like Black Lives Matter and LGBTQ equality today.
