Shownotes

In this episode of Passages Pulse, Josiah McGee sits down with Johnnie Moore, former U.S. Commissioner for International Religious Freedom and expert in Middle East studies, for a thought-provoking conversation on faith, policy, and education.

They dive into why understanding the Middle East is essential for Christians, how foreign and domestic policy are deeply interconnected, and the challenges facing Middle East studies in American universities. Moore also shares an inside look at Pepperdine University’s new Master of Middle East Policy Studies program, designed to combine practical experience with viewpoint diversity.
