Finding Hope in Trump 2.0
Interview with Pastor David Gray
I never know if people are really that interested in checking out my podcast episodes, but I will keep sharing them for the time being. Here is the latest episode.
In this episode, I chatted with David Gray, a senior pastor of a Presbyterian Church in suburban Washington, DC and public policy expert, to discuss the intersection of faith and politics during the Trump administration. David explores how faith communities can provide hope amidst the uncertainties of shifting policies and social climates sharing his perspective from his pastoral role in a diverse congregation, emphasizing the emotional distress faced by federal workers and marginalized groups. He advocates for churches to be safe havens for support and unity while also stressing the importance of maintaining a long-term outlook on justice. We examine the challenges of secularization and the church's role in fostering compassion and community engagement.
