Adam Kinzinger: “The man who refused to bow”

John Fea   |  February 27, 2021

Another great piece on Illinois congressman Adam Kinzinger. Here is a taste of Peter Wehner’s piece at The Atlantic: If military service shaped Kinzinger in some important ways, Christianity has shaped him in others. Kinzinger was raised as an independent fundamentalist Baptist until...

Rick Scott’s call for GOP unity

John Fea   |  February 23, 2021

It’s time for another look into what is happening in the world of evangelical Trumpism

John Fea   |  January 30, 2021
