French Friday: Is Evangelicalism about Jesus or Sexual Ethics?

Published: Sept. 30, 2022, 10 a.m.

David French is in studio with Skye Jethani and Phil Vischer for a special edition of French Friday. First, they discuss new survey results showing most evangelicals hold shockingly heretical beliefs about the nature of Jesus, but they are absolutely clear about sexual ethics. What does it mean for evangelicalism to make doctrine optional and sexual purity essential?

Then, comments from leading conservative voices appear to contradict core conservative values. Can conservatism still be defined, or has it deteriorated into a reactionary movement to \\u201cown the libs\\u201d and nothing more? Plus, David and Skye nerd-out about the new Amazon series, \\u201cThe Rings of Power.\\u201d
