Episode 008: Jonathan Merritt

Today, I get to chat with fellow preacher’s kid, dear friend, author, and speaker, Jonathan Merritt…

Jonathan is a trusted voice in America on matters of religion, culture, and politics. He is an award-winning contributor for The Atlantic, and a contributing editor for The Week,

But his writing doesn’t end there…Jonathan has published more than 3500 articles in respected outlets such as The New York Times, USA Today, The Washington Post and Christianity Today. he regularly contributes commentary to television, print, and radio news …you may have caught him on ABC World News, CNN, MSNBC, Fox News, NPR, PBS, and CBS’ “60 Minutes.”

In non-Covid times, Jonathan speaks all over on topics relating to spirituality, politics, and current events. He’s sincere, an incredibly deep thinker, and has a gift for communicating in a way that speaks directly to the issue and even more to the heart.

We cover all sorts of topics…from growing up Baptist to fundamentalism to the evolution of the church to trauma and a million things in between.
