I've been struggling to understand evangelicals in politics and American foreign policies. This episode was a very helpful beginning . Thank you!

This busted a personal nagging mystery!

Derek really shows as always how much he knows about current events in nearly every region.

In addition, I really liked Bessner's question about Kazakhstan vs. popular protest in the modern age of state militarization. If you guys ever found scholars that focus on this topic broadly world-wide or in other regions, I think they would make for really good interviews.

Valuable Foreign Policy Perspective as always
