text:  Strang is the CEO and founder of Charisma Media and author of two books about the faith of the former president and current Republican presidential nominee. He says he wasn't always a Trump supporter, but after interviewing him, he changed his mind. Now he finds himself defending him. Strang admits that in the wake of a Trump presidency, the term evangelical has taken on more political baggage. And now that Trump has been convicted of a felony in a New York court, he has even more to contend with. But he says critics should understand something about his evangelical beliefs.
