Faith and Power in Indiana | Lt. Gov. Micah Beckwith, Part 1

Oct 21, 2026 · 51 min · Season 2, episode 31

Inside the conversation

The story behind the episode.

Micah Beckwith is Indiana's 53rd Lieutenant Governor, and he's still a pastor. In Part 1 of this two-part conversation, Nick and Jason ask him how those two roles fit together.

Micah talks about how a worship pastor won the Lt. Governor nomination at the state convention, why he thinks pastors should talk about politics, and where he says the line is between faith in public life and forcing religion on anyone. Nick and Jason put the "theocracy" question to him directly. He also covers his path from a dairy family to the pulpit, his work on agriculture and rural development, foster care, and his July sermon, "How to Hate Properly."

Hosted by Nick Williams and Jason Yocum.
