Kirt E. Lewis is ex-military, an ex-pastor, an advocate and an author recovering evangelicalism. Aren't we all? Join us as we talk about his journey in and out of evangelical Christianity. We’ll discuss the problems with toxic and misguided Christianity and Donald Trump's America as well. Krit has background working with Wold Relief in refugee resettlement in California. He has a heart for the immigrant community and we'll talk about the ways to move forward and advocate for the marginalized in our society. So as you could have guessed it, Kirt is right within our Snarky Faith wheelhouse. We shouldn't be discouraged by the state of faith in America, we need to pave a new way forward.

We'll also hit on the death of Billy Graham. And as you can expect, it won't be a reverent eulogy. So before we heap generalized and sentimental praises on the deceased, take a listen. Dr. Graham may not have been the gleaming light of Christianity we all like to think of. He sewed many seeds of toxic faith and led us to where we are today. Did he lay the groundwork for the rise of the Religious Right, End-Times conspiracy theorists, and, yes, even our beloved (sarcasm) Orange Messiah, Donald Trump? So thanks, Dr. Graham?
And hey, isn't Franklin Graham basically the Donald Jr. of Christianity? I'll let you be the judge.
Maybe I'm a heretic or maybe I'm right. Most likely, I'm somewhere in between. It wouldn't be Snarky Faith without a sarcastic journey into the grey areas of faith.
Come along for the ride as we skewer through life, culture, and spirituality in the face of a changing world.
