Faithful Politics Podcast

Faithful Politics Podcast Conversations that intersect faith and politics. Subscribe to our Podcasts & YouTube What sets Faithful Politics apart is the dynamic between its two hosts.

In a time when political discourse is more divisive than ever, Faithful Politics offers something different—a space for thoughtful, nuanced, and respectful conversations about the intersection of faith and politics. Hosted by Will Wright, a politically progressive thinker, and Pastor Josh Burtram, a conservative-leaning faith leader, the podcast is not about preaching to the choir. Instead, it eng

ages in real, challenging, and thought-provoking discussions that encourage listeners to explore complex issues from multiple perspectives. Will and Josh come from different political and theological backgrounds, bringing unique insights that challenge, inform, and inspire. Their conversations are enriched by an incredible lineup of guests that include some of the most influential voices in politics, religion, journalism, and academia. Listeners have the opportunity to hear from members of Congress, faith leaders, journalists, scholars, and political strategists, all of whom bring their expertise and personal experiences to the table. This podcast is designed to be an antidote to the hyper-partisan echo chambers that dominate today’s media landscape. Whether you’re a devout believer, a skeptic, or somewhere in between, Faithful Politics welcomes your curiosity. Here, questions are encouraged, and disagreement is respected. The show covers a wide range of timely and relevant topics, including breaking news, religious freedom, democracy, social justice, church-state issues, and elections. Each discussion is approached with intellectual rigor and an open-hearted willingness to engage with differing viewpoints. Unlike traditional media that thrives on outrage, this podcast prioritizes truth over tribalism and seeks to create a space where listeners can think critically about the issues that shape their faith and their politics. For those wondering whether Faithful Politics is for them, the answer is simple: If you’re tired of one-sided takes and long for genuine, open-minded dialogue, this podcast is for you. If you enjoy deep discussions about political and religious issues without being spoon-fed pre-packaged narratives, you’ll find this podcast refreshing. If you’re a person of faith trying to navigate the ever-changing political landscape, or simply someone interested in how religion influences modern politics, you’ll feel right at home. Some of the show’s most notable guests include Kevin Roberts, President of The Heritage Foundation; Angela McArdle, Chairperson of the Libertarian Party; Jessica Huseman of Votebeat, covering election integrity; Dr. Jemar Tisby, bestselling author and historian on race and Christianity; Abigail Spanberger, Gubernatorial candidate for Virginia; Mark L.

We’ve built Faithful Politics on something rare: mutual respect in a world tearing itself apart over politics and religion.

This podcast didn’t grow because of some viral stunt or flashy ad campaign. It grew because you cared enough to share it—with friends, family, coworkers, and church groups. Our audience has always been the engine. That's something we take seriously, and something we’re deeply grateful for.

Now, we’re asking you to be part of the next chapter.
If our show has challenged you to think differently, reminded you of the humanity in someone who disagrees with you, or just made you feel a little less alone in this cultural mess, we want to hear from you. This is your chance to help shape how we grow—not by changing your mind, but by sharing your story.

🎧 NEW EPISODE: April Ajoy on Deconstruction, Comedy, and Christian Nationalism

April Ajoy grew up immersed in evangelical culture — purity rings, end-times anxiety, and the belief that Democrats were literally sent by Satan. Today, she’s one of the most compelling voices in the exvangelical movement, using humor and honesty to challenge toxic theology and reimagine a more inclusive faith.

In this episode of Faithful Politics, we talk with April about:
• The emotional cost of deconstructing your faith
• How satire can disarm harmful ideologies
• The rising threat of Christian nationalism
• And the difficult—but hopeful—path of spiritual healing

This conversation is heartfelt, sharp, and surprisingly funny.

The Middle East is on fire — literally and politically.

With reports of U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, tensions flaring in Gaza, and uncertainty gripping Israel and the broader region, it’s hard to know what’s actually happening… or what might come next.

🎙 That’s why we’re bringing on Ethan Chorin, former U.S. diplomat and Middle East expert, to help make sense of it all.

📅 We’re recording next Thursday — and we want your questions.

🚨 Christian Dominionism is reshaping global politics—are we paying attention? 🚨

Dr. Gagné, professor of theological studies at Concordia University and expert on the intersection of religion and politics, explains how dominion theology—the belief that Christians are meant to govern all areas of society—is rapidly expanding alongside the global rise of Pentecostal-charismatic networks.

In this clip, Gagné explores:
👀 How the Bible is being weaponized in political movements
🌍 The spread of dominionist thinking far beyond the U.S.—into Africa, Latin America, and beyond
⚔️ Why the fusion of spiritual warfare language and political power raises serious concerns for democracy and pluralism

Gagné is the author of American Evangelicals for Trump: Dominion, Spiritual Warfare, and End Times and host of the Spirit, State, and Society podcast. His insights cut through the noise and challenge us to rethink the role of religion in public life.
