Can Christianity be restored to the center of American life? In this episode of The Magistrate, Josh Howard and James Baird engage two competing narratives shaping the current conversation around religion in America—decline and revival. Interacting with recent articles from American Reformer and The New York Times, they examine whether the so-called “waning” of Christianity tells the full story, or whether deeper currents suggest something else entirely.
Is America moving beyond Christianity… or is a return still possible? More importantly—what would it actually mean for Christianity to be “central” again? Cultural influence? Political establishment? Or something deeper? This conversation pushes beyond simplistic binaries and asks what a historically Protestant, theologically grounded vision for public life might look like in the present moment.
