Kristin Kobes Du Mez joins PEACE TALKS to share research from her best-selling book “Jesus and John Wayne” about the problems with today’s Christians leaders and harmful patterns in white evangelicalism. Kristin is a historian, writer and speaker who uncovers the socio-cultural phenomena that helped shape Western Christianity over the last 200 years. She argues there is power in recognizing the Church’s mistakes, no matter how painful, in order to better align with Jesus and his gospel of the kingdom.

About the Center for Formation, Justice and Peace:
Justice and peace come from the inside out—from the overflow of a transformed heart. This belief led our founder, Bishop Todd Hunter, to start the Center for Formation, Justice and Peace in 2021. The Center brings together a diverse, interdenominational community of people who want to be formed in love to heal a broken world. Because “religion” is often part of the problem, we’ve created a brave, Jesus-centered space for dialogue, questioning, creating and exploration. PEACE TALKS introduces you to women and men who are working to undo oppression, leading to lives of deeper peace for all.
