On today's podcast I chat with a Pastor from Bayside Church in Sacramento, California, Kevin Thompson about the increasing role of politics from the pulpit in the United States.

I asked Kevin about changing voices in the community and the politically motivated pressure that may have influenced him to make a move away from his beloved hometown church in Arkansas, where he had served for 19 years.

He spoke about his work, a new life in California, the assault on truth since 2015 in the country and we spoke about Donald Trump, racism, gun control as well as his own writing and his book 'Fearless Families'.
