The conversation with Curtis Chang focuses on his book and curriculum called The Afterparty, which aims to help Christians navigate political differences and maintain relationships. The Afterparty includes a small group curriculum, a book, and a worship album. The feedback on The Afterparty has been positive, with many people sharing stories of how it has helped them heal and reconcile relationships. The book emphasizes the importance of hope and humility in politics and encourages Christians to prioritize reconciliation over winning disputes. The conversation also addresses criticisms of the book, highlighting the focus on navigating politics rather than pushing a specific agenda. The conversation explores the concept of the after party, which is the vision of a better Christian politics that transcends partisan loyalties. It emphasizes the importance of growing in humility and hope, and how these qualities can bridge the divide between different political viewpoints. The conversation also discusses the dangers of the big sort, where people sort themselves into social circles based on their political beliefs, leading to polarization and extremism. The ultimate vision is centered around the return of the King, the event that will make all things right, and calls for humility and hope in the midst of our current political landscape.
