How did Donald Trump become the ideal presidential candidate for white evangelical Christians? The moment when John Wayne replaced Jesus as Lord. In this episode of the Tealos Podcast, Gracia, Silas, and special guest Hannah Knodel interview Dr. Kristin Kobes Du Mez—an American historian of politics, gender, and religion. Her new book, Jesus & John Wayne, outlines the history of American Evangelicalism over the course of the last century. She explains how the distortion and corruption of gender roles and identity have become a foundational tenet of evangelical values. Her research demonstrates how Trump was the perfect advocate for Christian nationalist values.
