Kristin Kobes Du Mez on Christian Culture and the World We Inherited
John sits down with historian and author Kristin Du Mez to talk about her new book, Live, Laugh, Love: The Secret History of White Christian Women and the World They Made. Their conversation wanders through Christian bookstores, Little House on the Prairie, purity culture, multi-level marketing, women in ministry, and the quiet ways faith, culture, and commerce have become tangled together over the last century.
Kristin invites us to become more curious. What has shaped us? What stories have we inherited without noticing? And what might it look like to hold onto faith while seeing our own history more honestly?
