The insurrection at the U.S. Capitol Building on January 6, 2021 wasn’t a spontaneous decision by rogue militants to commit treason, this day was decades in the making. Fueled by a network of Christian nationalists including mega-church pastors, politicians, and religious organizations, January 6 showed the lengths many evangelicals will go to to maintain power over culture. But are Christians supposed to be in power? And what has happened throughout history when they have been in power? This final episode in our series on “America’s Unholy Trinity” details not only the danger of Christian nationalism, but more importantly how the Gospel is distorted by the evangelical thirst for power.
