S1 Ep25: "We are swimming in a sea of red flags" - a podcast by Nish Weiseth and Amy Sullivan

This week, Nish and Amy talk about Trump's belated announcement of a White House faith office, as well as the backlash among Southern Baptist women to comments from Paige Patterson regarding marriage and domestic abuse.

We also interview journalist Ruth Graham about her recent [Politico Magazine story](https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2018/04/22/trump-christian-evangelical-conservatives-television-tbn-cbn-218008), which laid out in fascinating detail the extent to which Christian media have become an extension of the White House communications effort.

And Amy takes over Three Minutes of Nish this week to rant about the National Rifle Association's prayer breakfast.
