    Episode 10 has arrived. The show has been updated with new theme music, and we've dived into the HUGE amount of political news that accumulated over the past couple of weeks. In addition, Chris has some thoughts on recent campaign stops in South Carolina by Nikki Haley and Donald Trump and then shares some candid insights on the origins and dangers of Christian Nationalism, its attachment to the current iteration of the Republican Party, and what's really behind the fear-mongering.
