In a world where faith and politics are often treated as oil and water, there's a refreshing voice emerging that challenges this notion: “Crossroads,” a platform where two seasoned experts, Mark Meckler and Rita Peters, navigate the intersection of faith, culture, and public policy.
It's a common refrain in today's media landscape: faith and politics should never mix. But for those who follow Christ, this compartmentalization simply doesn't hold up. Faith isn't just a Sunday ritual — it's a guiding light that should influence every aspect of life, including how we engage with society and government.
Both Mark and Rita understand this. And as Christian attorneys, they are dedicated to restoring a rightful place for faith in the public square.
Unfortunately, this advocacy has earned them a slew of enemies in the media, including, most notably, Right Wing Watch, a self-described “powerful force in exposing the tactics of anti-democratic leaders and fighting right-wing extremism.”
After several terse public exchanges, Convention of States is capitalizing on their feud with Right Wing Watch, urging viewers to tune in to the so-called radical, Christian nationalist podcast and judge for themselves if it really is as bad as the media claims.
In addition to streaming on the Convention of States Podcast and Youtube, “Crossroads” is also broadcast on select stations across Virginia, West Virginia, and Maryland. Check out the sample episode below for a taste of the “propaganda!”
