Politics, Faith, & Hope: Two Perspectives Michael Wear & Hahrie Han

In today’s episode, our speakers explore the possibilities and limits of politics. How can politics be used as a force for good in society? And when our political systems fail us, where should we look for hope? You’ll hear from Michael Wear, the founder and CEO of the Center for Christianity and Public Life, and Hahrie Han, a professor of political science at Johns Hopkins. In this conversation, they explore why agency and community matter in politics, why misplaced political hope can be dangerous, and where they find hope beyond politics as a Christian and a seeker. This forum was held at Johns Hopkins University in March 2025. Thank you to the student planning team for making this event possible.
