I Would Have Been at the Capitol Insurrection with author Monica Rodden

Monica Rodden is a novelist and ex-evangelical. She wrote this recent piece in the Boston Globe about how she would have been the type of Christian to be part of the Capitol Insurrection. In her interview with Brad, she discusses the binary thinking that plagues Evangelical culture, how certainty can act as a shield from the harsh realities of the world–and why that’s a bad thing–and how the Capitol Insurrection brought back all the memories of feeling hate and disrespect towards those who disagreed with her.
