Live, Laugh, Love was never just a sign

Sarah and Beth talk with Kristin Kobes Du Mez about her new book Live, Laugh, Love, exploring the history and influence of white Christian women's culture in America:

how Live, Laugh, Love traces the roots of white Christian women's culture beyond evangelicalism, including Mormon and positive thinking influences

the intertwining of religion, capitalism, and multi-level marketing, and how corporate power shaped Christian subcultures

the impact of Christian fiction, media, and influencers from Little House on the Prairie to modern blogs and Instagram

the challenges of writing recent history and representing living figures in the Christian women's influencer space

Outside of politics, some easy organizing has improved our lives.
