Hell hath no fury as an evangelical challenged about how they vote.

And yes, of course, this applies to all candidates, all platforms, & all positions. Equally opportunity here.

I say this based on what I've noticed about my own heart & how quickly I want my decisions to validate me.

I say this in all transparency: The last for years have been humbling in the extent to which they've forced me to recognize where I've placed & misplaced my hope. I know I'm not alone.

To be clear, the degree to which American evangelicals have been trained to put our hope in a nation or political platform is the degree to which it cannot be touched or questioned.
