## Resource

Molly Worthen is an academic and journalist who has spent much of her career chronicling the history of religion in the USA. Two years ago she joined Justin and Belle for Re-Enchanting, to talk about her own unlikely journey to faith as an adult convert to Christianity.  Today she returns to talk about her new book ‘Spellbound’ - charting America’s love affair with charismatic leaders in religion and politics. Today we attempt to re-enchant… ‘Charisma’. For 'Spellbound': https://mollyworthen.com/book/spellbound/  For Molly Worthen's first appearance on Re-Enchanting: https://www.seenandunseen.com/re-enchanting-conversion-us-evangelicalism?page=84  If you found this conversation interesting, Seen & Unseen, the creators of Re-Enchanting, offers thousands of articles exploring how the Christian faith helps us understand the modern world.
