The Boise Pastor Crusading for Separation of Church and State

City Cast Boise

About
As Christian nationalism gains ground in Idaho, many are wondering: Does this movement reflect the heart of Christianity, or has faith been hijacked for politics? We’re resharing a conversation with Boise’s Benjamin Cremer, a pastor who is critical of this movement. He and host Lindsay Van Allen are exploring what happens when religion and power intertwine, and how it’s changing life in our state. 

And if you hadn’t heard the news, City Cast Boise is closing down operations at the end of the week. We want to hear from you before we say goodbye! Have a favorite episode?
