Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove’s 2019 release, Revolution of Values, is just as pertinent and applicable as it was when he was writing it. He had me from page 1! Jonathan presents that over the last several decades, white conservative Christians have framed certain issues as the main ones that warrant our concern to the neglect of others. The neglected concerns have usually been the ones that largely affect people who have already been systemically marginalized. In this conversation, Jonathan and I talk about the history of how this has happened (and keeps happening) and what that looks like today.
