Theology Lab Podcast w/ David Brooks and Jim Wallis (Apple podcasts:) https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...
(Spotify:) https://open.spotify.com/episode/4IZ1...
Recorded January 23, 2023.
Kristin Kobes Du Mez (Calvin College) and Walter Kim (National Association of Evangelicals) discuss the rise of a cultural form of masculinity that's taken hold in many evangelical communities and which is the focus of Du Mez's widely acclaimed book, Jesus and John and Wayne. Du Mez and Kim also address how the values of this movement compare to the person of Christ as depicted in the gospels, as well as Christian Nationalism, and how we might consider alternative forms of masculinity in the church today. (Discussion moderator: Meghan DeJong, Highrock Church.)
