Inspiring a New Generation to Community-Changing Political Engagement
Brent McDougal
In a political climate where many people feel pessimistic or powerless, Faith, Hope & Politics is a call to a new generation of leaders to not give up on the public square. Through personal narrative, stories of inspiration, and a deep dive into fifteen qualities future leaders will need to make a lasting impact, Brent McDougal challenges the next generation to give their lives to a more hopeful and just future—a future in which faith, hope, and love have the power to transform America.
Brent McDougal has had two great loves throughout his life: faith and politics. He grew up in Alabama, and after graduating from Emory University, Brent began to serve churches while pursuing a seminary degree from Beeson Divinity School of Samford University and a PhD in political science from the University of Alabama. He lives in Knoxville, Tennessee, and serves the First Baptist Church as pastor. Brent is married to Jennifer and has two children, Christopher and Emily.
Is there a way forward in our political climate that can re-stitch the fraying social fabric and deliver a more durable and beautiful tapestry of public life together? Brent McDougal is a student and practitioner of politics and religion, as well as the virtues that underlie them. He proposes the contours of character that will knit us back together, inside and out.

I have known Dr. Brent McDougal to be a true servant leader in his church and his community. He has penned a most fascinating book with a call to action that will challenge all Christian believers to be the salt and light in our country.
—Gary Cook Chancellor, Dallas Baptist University
I am convinced that more people today are called to politics than are answering the call. Dr. McDougal has delivered a penetrating work that peers into the soul with conviction and a call to action. This deeply insightful and practical book is a must read!
—Adam C. Wright President, Dallas Baptist University
Brent McDougal lays out a compelling case for millennials to become more politically active. Faith, Hope & Politics illustrates the principles one employs to turn their faith into works in our democracy. I highly recommend the book and its author.
