I wrote a book about my time in Christian Nationalism: GOP campaigns, America Say Jesus bus tour, working at CBN/700 Club etc..

No Kings in Lexington, KY with my mom. Two former Republicans who once believed the lie that the GOP is the Christian party. Indoctrination is a helluva drug but so glad we woke up. Now we stand against Christian nationalism & MAGA because it's the opposite of Jesus' teachings.

This is your friendly reminder that hate wrapped in scripture is still hate.

Honestly, it shouldn't surprise us that the same people who claim Donald Trump is God's chosen are now making a Christian martyr of Charlie Kirk. Their idea of God is already skewed, their interpretation of scripture already bigoted and their beliefs already co-opted by right-wing nationalism.

Many Christians are now realizing that a lot of their friends/churches are either: tolerant of white supremacy or they are white supremacists. There's a grief & anger that comes w this realization.Don't let them gaslight u. Your instincts are right. Welcome to the fight against Christian nationalism

We are very close to MAGA just saying "who cares if he assaulted children? Look at the good he's doing now." Because the Epstein stuff is damning and they don't have a line.
And THAT is terrifying.

Should Christians attend the weddings of MAGA family members and friends?
I know you love them, but by going to such a public event, you are signaling that you affirm their sins. If you must go, make sure everyone there knows you disagree with their lifestyle.

Really appreciate being interviewed for this article. It's important to show how the extreme warfare rhetoric of Teen Mania/youth group culture has direct ties to the Christian Nationalism we see today.

It's Shiny Happy People release day! I'm thankful the world can see the extreme, military rhetoric that was taught to children. Teen Mania helped radicalize Christian nationalism today. I'm honored to have a small part in this & proud of the new friends I made who bravely shared their stories.
