Historian Kristin Kobes Du Mez, author of Jesus and John Wayne, explains how Christian nationalism and evangelical culture formed white evangelical women through fiction, MLMs and the parachurch system behind MAGA politics. Part 1 of 3. In this friendly, wide-ranging conversation, Pat Kahnke and co-host Renee Horsman talk with historian Kristin Kobes Du Mez about her new book Live, Laugh, Love: The Secret History of White Christian Women and the World They Made — and how it completes the story begun in Jesus and John Wayne. Kristin traces how everyday religious objects, devotionals, and Christian media disciple women into patriarchy, why evangelical fiction like Jeanette Oke bypasses critical thinking, why MLM psychology fits so neatly inside evangelical culture, and how a parachurch system built on holiness theology created what Kristin calls "THE SYSTEM."

Pat Kahnke and Tim Whitaker react to MAGA attacks on James Talarico, Tim Scott's We Know Who God Is speech, Donald Trump Jr. on Charlie Kirk, and Christian nationalism on display at Trumpapalooza.
