On this week's episode of The Narrative, CCV President Aaron Baer, Policy Director David Mahan, and Communications Director Mike Andrews are joined by Megan Basham, a reporter for The Daily Wire, to discuss the intersection of the Church and politics, and the deception some financial backers are supporting to thwart true Christian discernment in living out our faith in the public square.

Before the conversation, the men discuss the tragic shooting at Joel Osteen's church in Texas and the media's stark silence, the dichotomy of candidates who support LGBT legislation like Ohio's (un)Fairness Act at the Statehouse but don't mention it in district, and how they are each drawing closer to the Lord during this Lenten season.
