Episode Description
This week we discuss "America's Faith Crisis" with thought leader Michael Wear. Michael is a leading expert and strategist at the intersection of faith, politics and American public life. As one of President Obama's "Ambassadors to America's Believers" Michael directed faith outreach for President Obama’s historic 2012 re-election campaign. Michael was also one of the youngest White House staffers in modern American history: he served in the White House faith-based initiative during President Obama’s first term, where he led evangelical outreach and helped manage The White House’s engagement on religious and values issues, including adoption and anti-human trafficking efforts. Today, Michael is a sought-after consultant helping religious organizations, political organizations, businesses and others effectively navigate the rapidly changing American religious and political landscape.
