		<description>The Iowa Crossroad Podcast sits at the intersection of faith and public life, where partisan loyalties are tested against Scripture rather than the other way around. Offense and frustration aren’t the goal—but they’re often the byproduct of honest evaluation.

If you’re looking for shallow takes or political cheerleading, this probably isn’t for you. If you’re willing to wrestle with truth, doctrine, and the implications of a biblical worldview in the real world—welcome.</description>
