The Convocation Unscripted [S1E4]: The Last Presidential Debate in America
Our Take on the Significance of the First Presidential Debate
Welcome to the new episode of The Convocation Unscripted.
Late on the evening of June 27, 2024, we came together to discuss the first 2024 presidential debate between Joe Biden and Donald Trump. In this episode, Jemar Tisby, Kristin Du Mez, and Robert P. Jones talk about this train wreck of a debate (Diana Butler Bass is on vacation). While Biden clearly lost the debate, the real loser was democracy and the America people as Trump filled the airwaves with unchecked lies and hateful rhetoric dehumanizing immigrants. We may have just witnessed the last presidential debate in modern American politics.

Kristin wrote a really lovely piece a few weeks ago about how Christians should approach victories and defeats. I hold her words very close these days. And yes, I clicked the video the second the email came in. Really really appreciate you all getting together and offering your thoughts tonight.
Thank you all for staying up late to convocate!
