198: Nancy French: Ghosted by Her Own Tribe

Nancy French has spent her career helping others tell their stories. As a five-time New York Times bestselling ghostwriter, she has worked with prominent conservatives, celebrities, and political figures. But in her new memoir, Ghosted: An American Story, Nancy turns the pen on herself, recounting her own journey through faith, politics, and personal betrayal.  A lifelong conservative, Nancy never expected that standing against Donald Trump would lead to ostracism from her own community. Nor did she foresee how uncovering systemic abuse at a major Christian camp would result in personal vitriol toward her. In this deeply honest conversation, Nancy and Lee discuss the personal cost of truth-telling, the cultural divide in America, and how faith can persist even amid profound disappointment.  Show Notes  Resources mentioned this episode:  Ghosted: An American Story by Nancy French  David French’s NYT column  USA Today article: Kanakuk Abuse Investigation  Gretchen Carlson’s work on NDAs, workplace harassment  No More  SAMHSA    Similar NSE episodes:  David French & Russell Moore: How Should Christians Do Politics  Taking the Beatitudes Seriously: John Dear  Kristin Du Mez sits with David French   PDF of Lee's Interview Notes  Transcription Link  Want more NSE?
