Ep25: When She Refused to Lie

Aug 7, 2026    Brad Andrews

In this week's episode of Christianly, we examine three cultural flashpoints that reveal far more than the headlines. First, new research challenges the familiar accusation that evangelical Christians have made politics their religion and raises uncomfortable questions about who is actually driving political activism in America. Next, we take a deep dive into the controversy surrounding WNBA star Sophie Cunningham, asking why speaking obvious truths about women and sports has become an act of courage in modern America. Finally, we explore the growing narrative that America is entering a "Catholic moment" and explain why the real story may point in a very different direction.
