Randall Balmer is a scholar, professor, author, documentarian (Emmy nominee), and Episcopalian Priest. Ken and Dr. Balmer talk about his new book, Bad Faith: Race and the Rise of the Religious Right. They discuss notable players in the movement like Senator Mark Hatfield, Harold O.J. Brown, W.A. Criswell, Paul Weyrich, Ralph Reed, and Richard Land. In the right's celebration of Ronald Reagan, the religious right movement did not, as many believe, begin as pro-Life but rather defending evangelical institutions against the IRS which required compliance with the Civil Rights law.  The genesis of the Religious Right had nothing to do with abortion - it was racial segregation. The bridge to understanding the election of Donald Trump is Ronald Raegan - as evangelicals abandoned Jimmy Carter. Ronald Reagan launched his campaign in Philadelphia, Mississippi at the Neshoba County Fair, confirming "State's Rights." The church basement classic, Thief in the Night. was inspired by Dr. Balmer's pastor father's sermon series on Revelation preached in his home church in Iowa in 1974. It's the story of The Rapture and Larry Norman's popular song "I wish we'd all been ready." College and graduate school introduced Dr. Balmer to the life of the mind. They remember Billy Graham's crisis of faith. In 1994, Dr. Balmer's book 1989 Mine Eyes Have Seen the Glory became a PBS Documentary and featured Tony Campolo, Dolphus Weary, Fred Price, Bill Hybels, the black church in Mississippi, Hispanic Pentecostals, Jim Bakker, Jimmy Swaggart, and many others. Today, in addition to his academic profession, Dr. Balmer is an Episcopalian priest - he shares the journey that led him to his ordination in the church.

Acts 20, Dolphus Weary, REAL Christian Foundation

Dr. Dolphus Weary grew up in rural poverty in Mississippi, graduated from L.A. Baptist College now The Masters College; the University of Southern Mississippi (USM) and Reformed Theological Seminary (RTS).  He vowed when he left Mississippi in the mid 1960's that he would never return.  Yet, he did return and for the past 44 years he and his wife, Rosie have been working to build models of holistic ministries in MS.  His life experiences has helped to tell his story in the books he has authored - "I Ain't Comin' Back" and "Crossing the Tracks - Hope for the Hopeless and Help for Rural Poor in Mississippi and Your Community." Dolphus has served on the boards of WorldVision, Evangelical Council For Accountability (ECFA) and InterVarsity Christian Fellowship (IVCF) and is currently serving on the Belhaven University (BU) and Jackson Prep boards and is the President of Rural Education and Leadership [REAL] Christian Foundation. He has been married to his wife Rosie for 45 years.

After graduating college in California, Dolphus Weary returned to Mendenhall while job hunting. In this episode, his wife Rosie Weary recalls their decision to join the Mendenhall Ministries. She describes how the Mendenhall Ministries established a 150 acre farm to teach their young people a good work ethic and explains how the food they grow benefits the entire community. The programs developed by the Mendenhall Ministries have been designed to address specific needs within the community: When local African-American children needed constructive recreational activities, it was the Mendenhall Ministries that found the solution. In the early 1970s, The Mendenhall Ministries recognized a need for their own medical clinic. She recounts how they met that need. As Mississippi schools integrated in 1970, black parents realized the children were not as prepared as their white counterparts. Weary discusses the formation of the Genesis One School. Weary concludes by pointing with pride to their many success stories. To learn more about the Mendenhall Ministries, go to http://www.mendenhallministries.org .
