America doesn’t need more partisans. America needs more citizens willing to choose principle over expediency, to honor liberty even for those with whom we disagree, and to defend the rights of all — even when it’s inconvenient. Check out the full piece here: substack.com/home/post/p-...

Well this is cool. Talkin' @goodfaithpolitics.bsky.social & Religion Without Killin' Each Other made the top 10!

If the Attorney General can shut down speech about Charlie Kirk, what’s to stop her from silencing you? My latest submission on Substack: coreysnathan.substack.com/p/speech-is-...

“What can heal America?” Gov. John Kasich says it starts with faith, forgiveness & civic courage. We dug deep into his new book aptly titled HEAVEN HELP US on @goodfaithpolitics.bsky.social —listen now 🎙️

"... Let us dedicate ourselves to what the Greeks wrote so many years ago: ‘to tame the savageness of man and make gentle the life of this world.’ Let us dedicate ourselves to that, and say a prayer for our country and for our people.” - RFK 4/4/68 coreysnathan.substack.com/p/scapegoats...

Many are hurting. Some respond with blame. But it's not about them. It's about us. What has hatred done to you? #notaboutthem #morewelessthem #grief #healing

This is not the way. After Charlie Kirk’s assassination, our collective grief has been compounded by something almost as tragic: The cheering. The blaming. The dehumanization. Each of us can make a choice to do better and be better than this. Don’t let hate win.

Yesterday, Charlie Kirk was assassinated. Today marks 24 years since 9/11. Two moments, one tragic and one historic, collide to remind us of the same truth: we can either descend deeper into hatred—or rediscover our shared humanity. open.substack.com/pub/coreysna...

"Political violence is evil. I don't care how angry you are at your opponents. We have a ballot box. We have courts. We have free speech. I'm sick with grief for Charlie and his family. I'm sick with concern for this country." - @davidfrenchjag.bsky.social

When we talk about “them,” do we have an actual human being in mind? Or are we just conjuring a caricature? coreysnathan.substack.com/p/loving-our...

About a day and a half after completely losing my shit, one thought kept circling in my head: Who the hell am I to host a podcast called Talkin' Politics & Religion Without Killin' Each Other? Fair question... coreysnathan.substack.com/p/when-you-f...

I had a deeply meaningful conversation with Dr. @imterencelester.bsky.social on @goodfaithpolitics.bsky.social. Dr. Lester traveled a long way - not just geographically. From h.s. dropout to earning his PhD and becoming a faith, community and social justice leader. It's up on all the apps!

Well, this'll keep ya up at night... @matthewdtaylor.bsky.social reveals what the #NewApostolicReformation (NAR) has been planning via the #sevenmountainmandate #7mm. Here's a clip and we discussed it at length on @goodfaithpolitics.bsky.social which is up on all the apps.

On the latest Talkin' Politics & Religion Without Killin' Each Other, @matthewdtaylor.bsky.social: The New Apostolic Reformation (NAR)'s War on Democracy & The Path to Rehumanizing Faith. Give it a listen. It's up on all the apps. Then, let's talk (with gentleness and respect)!

In SUMMER OF OUR DISCONTENT, Thomas @chatterton.bsky.social Williams reckons with all that was happening in the summer of 2020 - historically, culturally and politically: What led up to that moment, what was happening in that moment and how it's shaped us since.

Have we forgotten that the people we interact with and read about online are still human beings?

What if ICE visits our church? How are we doing after the LA Fires? And how can the Church help to rebuild and heal?

Enjoyed having this podcast conversation on politics & religion with @coreysnathan.bsky.social and @faithfulpolitics.bsky.social on @goodfaithpolitics.bsky.social. We talk Epstein files, ICE deportations in CA, the death & abuse by John MacArthur & more hot topics. www.podbean.com/ew/pb-sgn5d-...

Not sure what's more thrilling: That we made the top 20 of the list of Best Interfaith Podcasts or that we ranked just ahead of Harvard Divinity School! @goodfaithpolitics.bsky.social Talkin' Politics & Religion Without Killin' Each Other

Getting to catch up with Andrea Weeks of AV Squad on Trailer Geeks and Teaser Gods was a real treat. I've known Andrea since her NY days. It's been awesome cheering on her success, the impact her work, and the way Andrea's been able to mentor rising stars in this industry. bit.ly/44iF26R

Well, would ya look at that! Talkin' Politics & Religion Without Killin' Each Other made the list of "Best 40 Centrist Podcasts." (And now I know why EVERYone's pissed at me ALL the time.) www.millionpodcasts.com/centrist-pod...

Kamy Akhavan, the Exec Dir at USC's Center for the Political Future, joined me on @goodfaithpolitics.bsky.social to talk about what's actually happening in #losangeles presently and to share his extraordinary journey from war-torn Iran to becoming a champion of political bridge-building in the US.

There's a peaceful assembly here in Santa Clarita on Saturday June 14th from 10:30am to 1pm at the corner of Valencia Blvd and McBean Pkwy. www.nokings.org *A core principle behind all No Kings events is a commitment to nonviolent action.

If we want to do this whole thing better - this whole living among each other without hating each other and being angry all the time - Here's one thing we can keep in mind when we're talking to people about important issues...

What an honor it was to speak with Bishop Mary Glasspool of The Episcopal Diocese of New York as she prepares for retirement after over 40 years of ministry and a trailblazing career. Our conversation is on "Talkin' Politics & Religion Without Killin' Each Other" @goodfaithpolitics.bsky.social.

Here's the YouTube version of my talk with Pastor David Hegg on @goodfaithpolitics.bsky.social. I admit I was trying to get my buddy into some trouble, lol. But he's such a winsome guy, we ended up having a great convo despite those wayward efforts. youtu.be/AxOtaLDGogE?...

Why does US foreign policy sometimes falter? @avindman.bsky.social points to THE FOLLY OF REALISM: treating everything as a transaction & pursuing interests "maximally". Instead, put values front and center. This "allows us to correct for the mistakes of the past" & is a "better way" forward.

Feeling the divide? 😩 My friend Pastor David Hegg joined me on @goodfaithpolitics.bsky.social to tackle toxic partisanship, tribalism, and find ways to have respectful dialogue. Learn contact without compromise & reasoned humility. It's up on all the apps now!

I joined @coreysnathan.bsky.social for a great conversation on geopolitics, American politics, and my new book. www.politicsandreligion.us/e/alexander-...

Respect @avindman.bsky.social? Support Ukraine & Democracy? Understand history/policy? Hear Lt. Col. (Ret.) Alexander Vindman on the latest @goodfaithpolitics.bsky.social! He discusses Ukraine's long struggle, US policy failures, & the path of "Neo-idealism" and so much more!

I have to wonder how he'd answer this question as the host of the Dan Bongino show.

Another habit I try to practice is "hunting for the serious." Meaning, I'm looking for the serious point someone's trying to make and then I try to take them seriously. (But let's face it, I completely screw this one up time and again!) youtube.com/shorts/xyPtv...

Political strain? 🌍 @serenejones.bsky.social of @unionseminary.bsky.social suggests our duty is to build bridges to Trump voters questioning that vote – to catch them falling! Catch them in love and simply converse. Walls mean no one to catch anyone. #BridgeBuilding #CatchThem

Rev. Dr. Serene Jones of @unionseminary.bsky.social tackles a difficult truth. 🔥 Many people feel unseen and ignored by progressives. But everyone deserves to be treated justly. Are progressive "excesses" pushing people away? The full convo on faith, justice, + responsibility is up on all the apps.

@moreincommonus.bsky.social's "Hidden Tribes" report has been cited by many of the most respected leaders and thinkers. So it was encouraging to speak with Kate Carney on @goodfaithpolitics.bsky.social about the latest findings they shared in "The Connection Opportunity." Up on all the apps.

E.J. Dionne, Jr's bold take: "God Bless Atheists"?! 🙏 Why? He respects those who humbly struggle, but mistrusts ARROGANCE. This directly challenges the arrogance seen in movements like Trumpism & Christian Nationalism. 🔥 Enjoy this short as well as the full conversation that's up on all the apps. 👇

Judge Dugan was right to protect Eduardo Flores-Ruiz's rights to due process. But she was wrong to deceive the ICE officers in the process. Her defiance needed to be directly confrontational with the support of Wisconsin behind her. The balance of power is also vertical. apnews.com/article/immi...

One of my favorite investigative journalists, McKay Coppins of @theatlantic.com, joined me on @goodfaithpolitics.bsky.social Talkin' Politics & Religion Without Killin' Each Other to discuss journalism, Constitutional rights under threat, and the power of inquiry. It's up on all the apps!

@saletan.bsky.social on the Trump Admin: "AN AMAZING QUANTITY OF STUPID". This "stupid" is "wrecking the economy" with tariffs and jeopardizing "national security" by "gutting vital agencies". On @goodfaithpolitics.bsky.social #Trump #PoliticsAnalysis #incompetence #accountability #USPolitics

Gen Z (aka my kid) asks: Want to fix toxic politics for FREE? 🤔 Being good isn't innate, it's a learnable choice – like loving your neighbor and embodying kindness. Let's discuss how these simple principles can challenge extreme division. Full convo on @goodfaithpolitics.bsky.social #GenZspeaks

@saletan.bsky.social exposes the "anti-Christian" heart of extremist immigration policies, highlighting the "break a few eggs" mentality that disregards innocent lives. Are such policies betraying core Christian values? @goodfaithpolitics.bsky.social #christiannationalism #lovethyneighbor

Combat toxic partisanship by defending free speech for ALL, even when you strongly disagree! 🗣️ Upholding rights, even for ideas like the election being stolen, is KEY to real political discourse. Let's build #HealthyDialogue over division. #CounterExtremism #FreeSpeech @goodfaithpolitics.bsky.social

Gen Z on faith, politics & navigating the chaos! 🎧 In this @goodfaithpolitics.bsky.social, we hear from Emerson Nathan (yeah, my kid). Hear a Gen Z take on faith, Trump's "s*** talking", and finding their own answers. #GenZspeaks #PoliticsAndReligion #HealthyDialogue #TrumpEra

"These guys are morons. They're wrecking the economy. They're wrecking national security. They're wrecking the government. They're wrecking health agencies. They're wrecking vaccines. They're wrecking everything." My chat with the delightful @coreysnathan.bsky.social. Apologies for my bluntness! 😉
