Introducing Techgnostics: Exploring Christian Nationalism and Its Impact on American Democracy | TDG Fellowship

This week we bring you a special episode from Shae Himmelberger & Joseph Strassman, one of our 2025 Podcast Fellows teams.

In this special episode, we dive into a candid conversation with Dr. Chris Beam, a research professor at Penn State focusing on political theory and social ethics. The episode covers Dr. Beam's academic background, his thoughts on the evolving relationship between Christian theology and democracy, and the rise of Christian nationalism in America. The discussion also delves into political dynamics, the economic focus of progressive politics, and the challenges faced by both the Democratic and Republican parties. Dr. Beam provides insights on how the U.S. political and cultural landscape has shifted over the years, the role of religion in shaping political ideologies, and the potential for progressive movements to regain their footing amidst current challenges.
