For the most part, Sarah McCammon followed the rules set by her Midwestern evangelical family. She was taught to obey God, not to question her faith, and that her eternal salvation was secured in heaven. She later left the church, but soon saw the power of evangelical Christian beliefs on the political right after covering the Trump campaign in 2016 for NPR.

Reset learns more about McCammon’s journey and the power she sees in that conservative religious community.
