Luke Moon is the Deputy Director of The Philos Project– an organization that promotes positive Christian engagement in the Middle East.

Prior to that, Luke served as business manager for the Institute on Religion & Democracy, and was a missionary with Youth with a Mission for 12 years. Luke has lived, worked, and taught in over 45 countries, and has advocated on a number of human rights issues along the way. He holds a BA in Biblical Studies from the University of the Nations and an MA in Global Politics from Regent University. Luke is also an ordained Southern Baptist minister.

In this installment of Theolitics, Luke explains why he voted for Donald Trump– the decision based on its own terms but also when compared to the alternative, Hillary Clinton. Luke admits he's sympathetic (and civil) to NeverTrumpers in their rejection of Donald Trump. However, he responsibly differentiates support for Trump versus support for the policies Trump implemented. 

We also discuss Donald Trump's ability to speak the language of a significant number of people who voted for him in 2016 and 2020. Often ridiculed, his language and style was that which his supporters could understand. Knowing this, Trump also spoke on their behalf. This group includes Latinos and working class men–a group largely ignored or forgotten. 

In the end, Luke offers his observation and analysis as to what Evangelicals can and must do in the post-Trump age.
