Is Trump the president that Christians need? I’m joined by radio host and author Eric Metaxas, and New York Times columnist and podcast host Ross Douthat. Both are Christians, both are friends, but they hold very different opinions about the Trump presidency.

“Hi Justin, I just wanted to say how grateful I am for the work you are doing with Uncommon Ground and the Surprising Rebirth of Belief in God podcast. The Uncommon Ground format is the best I've ever seen.
Having grown up with a faith, studied theology at university, and begun working in church ministry, I had a spiritual/meaning crisis after the birth of my son in 2024, and the challenges of new atheism played loudly in my thoughts. I began to fear I had brought a child into a meaningless existence.
Your podcasts and the guests you featured gave me the starting tools to begin to listen and learn of a far greater and more robust picture of God, his purposes and how faith in Christ holds all things together. Since that time I have been reading, listening, reflecting and writing and I know I too want to help people make some sense of faith and make sense of life by faith.”
