How can we avoid some of the common pitfalls when we engage in politics as Christ followers? In this week’s conversation on FrontStage BackStage, host Jason Daye is joined by Dr. Miranda Zapor Cruz. Miranda is a professor of historical theology at Indiana Wesleyan University. She holds a PhD in religion, politics, and society from Baylor University, and she earned her Master’s of Divinity at Princeton Theological Seminary.
