In this episode, we have Scott M. Coley, a philosophy lecturer at Mount St. Mary's University and author of an intriguing new book.

We explore the spiritual side of propaganda and how it's used in religious contexts. We tackle some thought-provoking topics, including the oft-heard phrase "I don't see color," the loaded concept of "law and order," and the alarming presence of authoritarianism within the church.

Scott shares his personal journey of faith over the past decade and how his theological commitments have evolved. We also reframe the hot-button issue of evangelical deconstruction, examining it through the lens of decoding the propaganda embedded within the religious right's ideology.

Join us for this stimulating discussion, which will challenge your perspective and make you think critically about the complex interplay of faith, politics, and social justice.
