Lee C. Camp: Christianity, Politics, and the Common Good

**Lee C. Camp** (0:02)
I'm Lee C. Camp, and this is No Small Endeavor, exploring what it means to live a good life. Today, we're doing something a little different. I'm joined in the studio by our executive producer, Jacob Lewis. Hello, Jacob.

Hello, Lee. Glad to be here talking with you. I'm here because today we are turning the mic back on you.
Our regular listeners will know that you wear many hats. As well as being our regular No Small Endeavor host, you are also a very recently retired college professor.

**Lee C. Camp** (0:31)
Jacob, I am not retired. Yes, it's true. I stepped away from 27 years of teaching, but no, not retired, just a new season of life.

**Jacob Lewis** (0:41)
New season of life, not retired.

**Lee C. Camp** (0:42)
No, not, yeah. That's right.

**Jacob Lewis** (0:44)
Transition.

But you are also public speaker, author, and your latest book is out on paperback for the first time, July 2nd.

**Lee C. Camp** (0:52)
Yes, we authors like the geeky kind of moment when a book goes from hardback to paperback. So we thought, you know, there's so little rewards in book publishing. So when you get a little small one like that, you got to celebrate.

It's Scandalous Witness, A Little Political Manifesto for Christians.
And I wanted to do this because I think it has something different to offer up to the larger conversation about religion and politics in America. And so to facilitate this and make this happen, we invited editor at large and columnist at Christianity Today, Russell Moore, to interview you for this week's show. And that's already happened. So now we sit back and hear Russell's conversation with you.

Hello, friends. Lee C. Camp here. There is, as you may have noticed, no shortage of content in the world. Opinions, endless outrage, plentiful.
Deep wisdom and thoughtful perspective, slightly harder to come by. That's part of why we created the NSC Notebook. It's our weekly e-mail from the world of No Small Endeavor, with reflections on a good life, behind the scenes insight into our interviews, and quotes that stuck with me long after those conversations ended. You'll also get a curated list of what I'm reading, watching and listening to. Books, movies, music, and other things I think are actually worth your time. It comes to your inbox every Tuesday, completely free. So if you'd like one less thing to doom scroll and one more thing to actually enjoy, sign up for the NSC Notebook at nosmallendeavor.com. When Laura and I had three young boys running around, we cared a lot about what our kids were eating. But like every parent, we learned pretty quickly that good intentions have to fit into real life. You want your kids getting the nutrients they need, but you also want to avoid all the extra sugar, artificial ingredients, and things you can't even pronounce. That's one reason I like Hiya.
Unlike a lot of kids' vitamins that are basically candy in disguise, Hiya's chewable multivitamin is made with zero sugar, zero gummy additives, and no artificial junk. It includes a blend of organic fruits and vegetables plus essential vitamins and minerals like vitamin D, C, zinc, folate, and B12.
What's fun is you get a reusable bottle with stickers in your first order, and then they send refills every month. Hiya just launched another exciting initiative, Kids Daily Growth Plus Protein. It's a clean protein powder with added minerals and healthy fats designed specifically for growing kids. Just mix it into water, milk, or a smoothie to help support muscle development, cognition, and all the energy kids need for their busy days. We've worked out a special deal with Hiya. Receive 50% off your first order on any of their products. To claim this deal, you must go to hiyahealth.com/nse.
This deal is not available on their regular website. Go to hiyahealth.com/nse and get your kids the full body support they deserve.

Hi friends, it's Annie F. Downs here and I am so beyond excited to share with you that I have a brand new TV show called I Gotta Ask that begins airing Thursday, May 28th on The Wonder Project, which you can find through your Amazon Prime Video app.
You may have heard of The Wonder Project because they're the ones who brought you The House of David and I am so honored and honestly have zero chill that I get to partner with them to make this dream come true. I love how Wonder Project is not only creating great original TV and movies that audiences can experience together, but also curating content via their subscription on Prime Video filled with meaningful stories.
