  • Christianity & Democracy with Eric Sapp
    Sep 28 2024

    Sponsor(s): The Confession of Evangelical Conviction

    Episode Description: In this episode, Ekemini and Christina are at the table with Eric Sapp to talk about how Christians ought to exercise their kingdom citizenship in the context of civic engagement. Eric discusses the connection between the apocalyptic, democracy, politics, and our overall witness as Christians during a fraught presidential election cycle. Pull up a chair and have a seat at the table with us!


    Learn more about Eric Sapp:


    As an entrepreneur, faith leader, and political advisor, Eric Sapp has spent his career supporting communities all over the world in their efforts to promote the common good. In recent years, he has become a nationally-recognized leader in the “Data for Good” movement and helped pioneer breakthroughs in empathy-based machine learning and more meaningful AI, leading to his appointment as a Nonresident Senior Fellow at the Atlantic Council focusing on this areas along with combating computational propaganda. Eric has worked in the Halls of Congress, Pentagon, and church sanctuaries.


    Eric co-founded Common Good Strategies in 2005, which became the Eleison Group in 2008. The firm rose to national prominence following its successful new approach to faith outreach and values-based messaging through its role advising numerous winning Democratic Senate and gubernatorial campaigns in 2006. As Eleison (and then Public Democracy) increasingly shifted from advising on campaigns to directing and self-funding them, Eric founded a partner 501c3, Public Democracy America (where he currently serves on the Board), to expand the mission and deliver greater impacts.

    Eric has always believed that before people can be persuaded or mobilized, their values and aspirations must be understood, and that understanding individuals’ core convictions and sense of place in the world is the best way to connect with them (and help them connect with others). Public Democracy seeks to empower people from all over the world by doing just that through its technology.
