639: The Apostle to the Apostles with Jennifer Powell McNutt

The election is just three weeks away and Phil is exhausted, Kaitlyn is concerned that evangelicals supporting Harris are making the same mistake as those supporting Trump, and Skye blames the whole mess on WWJD bracelets.

Then, Wheaton College professor of theology and history, Jennifer Powell McNutt, talks to Skye about her new book, "The Mary We Forgot."
