This show aired on Sunday, March 3, 2019 at 8:00am(cst). My gust was Jonathan P. Walton in New York.  He's an area ministry director for InterVarsity Christian Fellowships's New York/New Jersey region and author of the book "Twelve Lies that Hold America Captive".

I enjoyed this faith-based conversation with him because he spoke the truth and shamed the devil.  He explained what he calls "White American Folk Religion", in chapter 1 "We Are a Christian Nation".  Which is the first of the 12 lies as he describes in his book. 

There is so much to discuss in this area that we only got to the first 4 lies.  We covered: 1. We Are a Christian Nation, 2. We All Are Immigrants, 3. We Are a Melting Pot, 4. All Men Are Created Equal.  I am going to have him back again soon so we can go a little further in our discussion.

My book this hour is "Against Our Will: Sexual Trauma in American Art Since 1970" written by Vivien Green Fryd who was in the studio with me.  She is a Professor of Art History and PTSD researcher from nearby Vanderbilt University.  

Although this is a "heavy" subject, it was very informative at the intersection of art and trauma.  The book focuses mainly on the efforts of five American artists.  In our discussion we also touched on the MeToo Movement, and some of the headlines involving sex abuse allegations, and investigations in politics, Holywood, the church and in business. 

This was a great discussion and it was great to have her in the studio.
