About The Convocation Unscripted
Welcome to "The Convocation Unscripted," a free-wheeling conversation between Diana Butler Bass, Kristin Du Mez, Robert P. Jones, and Jemar Tisby. We are each scholars (three historians and one sociologist) who write about religion and its intersection with culture, history, and politics in America. We also each take our own Christian faith seriously and are deeply concerned about the future of both democracy and Christianity in the U.S. Most importantly, over the years, we’ve found ourselves to be not just fellow travelers but friends. This is the video/podcast component of our unique Substack magazine "The Convocation," which you can subscribe to here: https://convocation.substack.com/

[…] He loves that word lethality that showed up, you know, the speech was dripping. But what I was really struck by in that speech too is that he spent a whole segment – well, first of all, I should say he's setting this up as a presidential State of the Union speech. He's calling it a State of the Forces speech, and he's saying he's going to give it every year and kind of just be his big platform to kind of shake culture. This is a new thing. Yeah, yeah, new thing. This is never – he's just invented this out of whole cloth, right? It's a State of the Forces speech. He's going to give it, and it's going to shape the culture of the military. […]
