Confronting Christian Nationalism

What is Christian Nationalism?


Listen Later

What was once a fringe ideology took center stage during the January 6, 2021 insurrection when a mob mobilized by former president Trump, many with Christian flags or shirts, violently stormed the capitol. But what is Christian Nationalism?


We don't want to mischaracterize or debate straw-man arguments, so in this episode we hear straight from those who espouse this ideology including Congresswoman Mayra Flores, former Attorney General Jeff Sessions, and the an insurrectionist known as the Qanon Shaman who prayed a distinctly Christian Nationalist prayer after storming the Senate chambers.

In Episode 2 you'll hear from experts in sociology and theology to unpack why Christian Nationalism is bad for the church and democracy.
