Episode 1 - Are the Religious Always"Right"? - a podcast by FHL Productions

On the first episode of Faithful Politics, Josh and Will discuss the seemingly bizarre fascination of Christians' affinity for the Republican Party. Then they take a trip through time and talk about the origins of Red vs. Blue, Left vs. Right, and the Donkey vs. Elephants. Finally, they end the show with a controversial pontification of who Jesus would vote for in the 2020 election.
