Hauerwas on niceness, Trump, and the Christian quest for safety

Hauerwas on "sectarianism," "God is nice," and "it just wears you out being with nice people all the time." And the reason that medical schools are more interesting than seminaries today. And how dangerous it is for Christians to think Trump will keep them safe. And more.
Part one (of three) of our interview with special guest Stanley Hauerwas, former professor of theological ethics at Duke University, from our show "Kingdom Come," recorded at Collins Alumni Auditorium in Nashville, Tennessee, March 28, 2017.
About No Small Endeavor:
No Small Endeavor began in Nashville as “Tokens Show” in 2008, with quarterly live stage shows exploring theology, social ethics, and human flourishing. The Nashville Scene recognized the show as Nashville’s “Best Local Variety Show” which is a “grass-kicking shredfest” that is a “huge success,” with “genre-bending creativity.”
In 2020 the show began a long-form interview podcast, which led to weekly public radio broadcasts, distributed nationally on PRX.

[@willshogren1987]

But in the spirit of Christian charity, I love what he said about tension/danger. That insight is vitally necessary.
