In our first three-way episode, Andrew and Jesse have a fantastic interview Andrew's cousin Gabriel Minniear to get a liberal Christian's perspective on the issues of White Christian Nationalism in America. Maybe now, we can put this topic to rest.
In this episode Andrew reconnects with his good friend and bad motherf*cker Jessica Tate to get her take on the overturn of Roe v. Wade and other issues in American society from a feminist perspective.
In this episode Andrew and Jesse conclude their analysis of the social media posts of pastor Greg Locke. We pick up immediately after the end of the previous episode by discussing Locke's thoughts on the separation of church and state, hid advocacy of and loyalty to Donald Trump, his response to the COVID crisis, his personal account of the events of January 6th, and finally his most extreme post to date which resulted in his ban from Twitter and the dissolution of his 501C3 tax exempt status.

In this episode, Andrew and Jesse begin their dissection of Greg Locke, influential social media pastor. We start with a short biography of Locke and his stance that the Bible is inerrant and should be interpreted literally, all of which then go on to inform his platform on the social issues we cover in Part one, including LGBTQ issues, Racism and Policing in America, Immigration, Abortion, and finally gun control using excerpts from Locke's own social media videos as the basis for our discussion.

The cringe is yet to come.
In this week's episode, Andrew and Jesse continue discussing the topic of White Christian Nationalism in the United States, spanning the Moral Majority movement we left off on last time all the way up to the Evangelical support of Trump and the MAGA movement, wrapping up with the breakdown in demographics proving that, as the title states, not all Christians support calls for the elimination of the church / state divide.

In part 1, Andrew and Jesse discuss the concerning rise of White Christian Nationalism in the US and the sordid history behind influential modern ultra-conservative Christian right in American politics. (spoiler alert: it's racist) We also discuss the OG White Christian Nationalist, Jerry Falwell Sr. , the establishment of Liberty University , and how the racial undertones of the movement were obscured by rallying Evangelicals against the wedge issue of abortion. Stay tuned for the next episode where we will focus on the most influential figureheads and think tanks of the movement and the specific political agendas they are pursuing in order to reshape the US into a Christian theocracy.
