GOP rats are slowly but surely abandoning the sinking Trump ship, and we have to ask:Will "Republican Lifeboats" once again successfully allow the MAGA/Tea Party faithful to escape accountability?We analyze Marjorie Taylor Greene's masterful deployment of the "Magic Words" to blame "both sides of the aisle," framing her slow-motion exit from the Trump pandemonium bandwagon as an act of high principle. She's the first and possibly best lifeboat builder of the post-Trump era, claiming victimhood to elevate herself into the media's "Serious Women with Powerful Voices."How does the media's insistence on the "Both Sides Do It" lie enable this political evasion, even when the stakes are life-and-death (see the US Healthcare system)?Join us as we connect the dots from ancient trauma to modern political evasion, and in the end have a laugh at David Brooks' ludicrous attempt to diagnose—and "Somehow" cure—Christian Nationalism with his own big, dumb, Both Sides Do It meatgrinder.All this and more on this week's Professional Left podcast.Warning: This episode is not safe for work.Stay in Touch!

Spent a little longer than I intended to address the "controversy" on line regarding Skillet's great rendition of O Come, O Come Emmanuel, and then moved on to comments made by Matthew Barrett on "conciliar authority" and being a Baptist. Right toward the end we mentioned the new trailer(s) for an upcoming Christian Nationalism documentary and how really dumb it is to say Christianity is "fake and gay."

To exist as a black male in America is to be perceived as a threat, where criminality is attributed by default and violence is justified from racial bias. And as a young man, Pastor Mike McBride learned through personal experience that following Jesus does not protect you from the violence of the state. How could it, when Jesus himself was crucified by religious- and state-sponsored violence? In this episode, Pastor Mike (The Way Christian Center, Berkeley, CA) joins Mark Labberton to discuss the confluence of Black Pentecostal holiness, police brutality, gun violence prevention, Christian nationalism, political polarization, racial justice, and the urgent spiritual crisis facing the American church. From his childhood in the San Francisco neighborhood of Bayview–Hunter's Point, to the trauma of a police assault in 1999, to national leadership in Ferguson, to confronting the rise of authoritarian Christianity, Pastor Mike traces the formation of his vocation and the cost of staying faithful to Jesus in a nation shaped by anti-blackness and state-sponsored violence. His story of survival, theological awakening, moral urgency, and hopeful action is rooted in the gospel's call to respond with peaceful action against the violence of the world. Episode Highlights "What is it about this gospel that their family members, their parents trust you with the salvation of their souls, but not the safety of their bodies." "It forced me to really have a strong come to Jesus meeting about how am I being prepared to do what I was already feeling a lifeline calling of ministry while I was starting the work of justice as a first victim and crime survivor." "It is some kind of delusion for us to follow Jesus who got crucified and killed by the state and then be surprised when we get crucified by the state." "I think there was just this sensibility that was a part of our upbringing that this is what it means to be black in America." "People are being discipled into racism. People are being discipled into anti-blackness." "I hope that feeding the hungry clothing the naked healing the sick is not something that in 2025 Christians identify as some leftist socialist liberal Christianity or we've lost it."

A respected activist, pastor, and organizer, he has been a prominent voice in national efforts to address police violence, promote community-based safety strategies, and mobilize churches for racial justice. Pastor Mike is also the founding pastor of The Way Christian Center in Berkeley, California. His leadership, advocacy, and public witness have been featured across major media outlets, integrating faith, justice, and community transformation. Show Notes Holiness, formation, and black pentecostal roots Growing up as the second oldest of six in Hunters Point with deep Southern family roots "We grew up just very much enmeshed in a black church, holiness culture."

Holiness as both constraint and survival strategy during the crack era The world of Southern Baptist school culture colliding with black identity Racial Identity, Civil Rights Memory, and Family Formation Annual watching of Eyes on the Prize as civic and spiritual ritual. Leaving school to attend MLK Day celebrations: "I dare you to say something about it." Roots, Alex Haley, and early consciousness of black struggle and survival State violence, trauma, and theological turning point March 1999 police assault: physical and sexual violence during a "weapons search." "You can be following Jesus faithfully and still be subjected to violence at the hands of the state." The dissonance of worshiping a crucified Messiah while denying contemporary crucifixions Youth in his ministry revealing they didn't tell him because "we didn't think the church would do anything." Call to ministry, theological awakening, and training Exposure to church history, patristics, Thomas Merton, and MLK Jr. Grant Wacker inviting him to Duke; scholarship leading to seminary training Influence of black theologians and faculty shaping his justice imagination Meeting Eugene Rivers and the birth of a vocation in violence reduction and organizing Ferguson, activism, and the crisis of Christian witness Returning from Cape Town when Mike Brown was killed; sudden call to St. Louis Tear gas, militarized police, and "the ugly underside of the American law enforcement apparatus." "Our marriages didn't survive that era." Ferguson as exposure of the divide within the American church: respectability politics, sexuality panic, racial division "People are being discipled into racism … into militarism … into economic exploitation." Political polarization and Christian Nationalism 2016–present: Trumpism as a carrier of a broader reactionary Christian political project. Concern for Christian authoritarianism masquerading as religious fidelity. "You should definitely live out your convictions… but that don't mean you should kill everybody else on your hill." Deep grief over the church's inability to discern the danger George Floyd, red lines, and the urgency of now Summer 2020 as national smelling salt: "the banality and the violence of this state." The ceiling on empathy in American evangelicalism Targeted universalism and the need for differentiated strategies for shared goals Wealth inequality, homelessness, hunger, and the moral failure of Christianized politics "I hope that feeding the hungry clothing the naked healing the sick is not something… Christians identify as leftist."

What is God's will for humanity? Is it found in Genesis 1 and 2, or does Genesis 3 reveal something deeper? In this episode, Mike and Tim tackle "The Mystery of God's Will" by unpacking Genesis 3 and exploring how God's ideal will contrasts with the realities of a fallen world. With a focus on themes like cruciformity, faith, and navigating cultural challenges, the conversation dives into questions about suffering, the role of ideologies, and how theology shapes our understanding of justice and faith. The hosts discuss how God's will operates within suboptimal conditions, the complexities of prayer, and how Jesus challenges simplistic moral frameworks. They also examine the role of the church in society and the intersections of faith and politics, offering insights on how Christians can engage with cultural issues while holding space for mystery, tension, and humility in their faith. Join the conversation as they challenge common assumptions about God's nature, human suffering, and the role of theology in understanding our world.

In today's episode, Tim Whitaker engages in a conversation with Billie and Paul Hoard about their new book Eucontamination. The discussion dives into the theory of disgust and the innovative concept of 'good contamination,' describing how Jesus is seen as a transformative contaminant for good. They explore how disgust influences societal behaviors, particularly within evangelical circles, and how Jesus' embrace of those considered 'impure' subverts traditional notions of purity.

This week Brandon McLean Smith speaks with Dr. James Baird. His book "King of Kings: A Reformed Guide to Christian Government" presents a case for the government's responsibility to promote and protect Christianity as the true religion. While this topic has become controversial, James stakes his claim in the soil of Reformed theology, redemptive-historical hermeneutics, while avoiding the pitfalls of premillenialism and theonomy.

November 16, 2025 Dr. David Pacini, Professor Emeritus of Historical and Philosophical Theology at Candler School of Theology, leads this three-part series.Christian nationalism has become a common phrase in our public life, but it's often misunderstood. These misunderstandings shape how we see both our faith and our country—and can make it harder to recognize the deeper religious questions it raises.For three Sundays (November 2, 9, and 16), we explore what Christian nationalism actually is and why it stirs such strong feelings in us.First, we cleared away some of the confusion surrounding the term—especially the idea that it's simply a label for certain kinds of Christians. We looked at the historical and social roots of the movement and what makes it more than just a political slogan.Last week, we considered why Christian nationalism feels both familiar and unsettling. Many of its themes echo our spiritual traditions, yet they also challenge them in surprising ways.This week, we'll reflect on what makes Christian nationalism so appealing to some people, and what its rise reveals about our own longings and anxieties as a faith community.This class won't offer a final verdict or single “right” interpretation. Instead, it will invite open conversation and thoughtful reflection on the religious significance of Christian nationalism—and what it may be asking of the Church today.
Do you remember what a great night that November 5th, 2024 was? In a stunning move of unprecedented cooperation, groups that had never been together came together to usher Donald J. Trump into the White House in a literal landslide. Hopes were about as high as I can recall them ever being. Flash-forward to November 2025, and 100% of that election night good will is as distant a memory as Sunday morning pancakes on a Wednesday afternoon. MAGA is destroying itself, civil war is ripping it apart, what on Earth happened? We know, and we'll tell you today.“I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.” Ecclesiastes 9:11 (KJB)On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, one of the things I want to talk about today is TDS, or Trump Derangement Syndrome, but not from the perspective that the name might imply. Today we'll discuss Trump Derangement Syndrome from the perspective of people who are deranged for Trump, not against him, and how that derangement might apply even to Trump himself. Within the MAGA Movement, a sudden shift towards antisemitism has taken place, with the charge being led by people like Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, Nick Fuentes and a host of others. In addition to that, there are splits over white nationalism, Christian Nationalism, cultural elitism, hate speech, crypto corruption and a whole lot more. As much as they'd like to, Democrats can't take credit for nearly any of the MAGA meltdown as it seems to be a purely unforced error. Speaking of that, perhaps the number #1 thing working against Donald Trump right now is his own handling of the Epstein Files situation, something that grows worse and more bizarre by the day. All he'd have to do is release the files, something he's currently refusing to do, and no one seems to know why. On this episode, we show you the crumbling mess that is MAGA, and talk about what the short-term future for Trumpism, and 2028, just might look like.
Alan Smith and Jeff Rowland react to a recent conversation between Doug Wilson and atheist Sam Harris and talk through the fallout for modern evangelicalism. They compare Wilson's claim to be an “Absolutist” rather than a “Literalist,” tackle questions about inerrancy, inspiration, and who really wrote Scripture, and explain why your view of the Bible reshapes everything from the Rapture to Eschatology, Christian Nationalism, and Politics. If you hunger for clear, plain teaching on God's word, this episode is for you. Share your thoughts in the comments and let us know if you see the Bible as God's own words or a mix of divine and human opinion.

The visible surge of “Christian Nationalism” ignited in 2016 with Trump, which re-energized post-2024 election. However, has faith become politically branded with a lobby to entice voting in the Christian churches? We have to wonder if that Christian movement rose as a spiritual force to platform God, or has just become a promise to reclaim America for God under political means and operates as just another form of control. Is the Dominionism system of the NAR really for taking over spiritually for Jesus Christ, or a front for a false kingdom that replaces true faith with political allegiance?
Skye talks about Christian Nationalism, and presents a vision for how the church can respond in the midst of divided times.
Is there anything wrong with Democratic leadership being so devoutly…secular? Jon sits down for a conversation with Texas State Representative James Talarico, who put becoming an ordained minister on hold to run for US Senate. They discuss how genuine connection is the only road toward persuasion in our divided world, whether James can flip a Senate seat on a platform of loving thy neighbor, and how Republicans are trying to knock him off a pedestal with OnlyFans headlines. Plus: why Democrats should take responsibility for the growth of Christian nationalism. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In this episode of Finding Common Battle Grounds, we tackle three topics. We start with a discussion of Zohran Mamdani's election as Mayor of New York City. Josh and Tom are really disturbed that so many people were willing to elect a democratic socialist. Ryan is fine with it. When pressed, Josh and Tom seem to be okay with some of the specific actions Mamdani wants to take (e.g., free child care), though not all of them (e.g., rent control and free buses). But their bigger concern is that they think democratic socialism is a slippery slope into communism, which Ryan points out is not the case (c.f. every other developed country on the planet). Ultimately, we agree that Mamdani won't be able to institute most of the changes he wants because of the oligarchs who really run the US. Josh then dropped a surprise topic on us: White Christian Nationalism. We ignore the "white" in this label and focus on Christian Nationalism. Ryan explains what it means: that you prioritize your nation above all others AND believe that your nation should be Christian. The implication is that anyone other than Christians will be second-class citizens without equal rights to Christians. Josh and Tom seem fine with that, even when Ryan directly confronts them and asks them if they think he should not have the same rights they have. They seemed reluctant to answer that question directly. Finally, we turned to the bombing of boats off the coast of Venezuela by the US military. Ryan brought this up because it is illegal, unethical, and reflects the shocking level of moral depravity of Pete Hegseth and the Trump Administration; they are gleefully killing people without a trial to demonstrate their guilt. Josh agrees it is wrong, but only because it is really just an attempt to start a war or regime change in Venezuela. Tom thinks it's fine to send a message to drug traffickers (even though roughly 2% of drugs that enter the US come from Venezuela). Ryan cannot fathom how someone can believe they should have the authority to take other people's lives when they are not being violently attacked (perhaps he's becoming a pacifist as a result of this podcast).
Dan is off this week. So we are pleased to bring you a feature from our new limited series American Unexceptionalism: Global Lessons on Fighting Religious Nationalism with Dr. Matthew Taylor and Rev. Susan Hayward. South Korea is a nation that is deeply entwined with the United States. From the Korean War (which never technically ended) to Korean pop culture to the deep ties between Korean and American evangelical communities, what happens in the US affects South Korea and vice versa. But most Americans weren't paying attention to the fact that Korean democracy was startlingly challenged less than a year ago when the president at the time (President Yoon) declared martial law and tried to have his political enemies arrested. That attempt at autocratic takeover was unsuccessful, because Koreans took to the streets to protest and even Yoon's own party helped overturn his martial law decision and then impeach him. What can we in the United States learn from Korean activists and religious communities about how to resist wannabe tyrants? We get help on this question from two of the foremost experts on the interchanges between Korean religion and American religion: Helen J. Kim and Ray Kim.

These misunderstandings shape how we see both our faith and our country—and can make it harder to recognize the deeper religious questions it raises.For three Sundays (November 2, 9, and 16), we explore what Christian nationalism actually is and why it stirs such strong feelings in us.Last week, we cleared away some of the confusion surrounding the term—especially the idea that it's simply a label for certain kinds of Christians. We looked at the historical and social roots of the movement and what makes it more than just a political slogan.This week, we'll consider why Christian nationalism feels both familiar and unsettling. Many of its themes echo our spiritual traditions, yet they also challenge them in surprising ways.Next week, we'll reflect on what makes Christian nationalism so appealing to some people, and what its rise reveals about our own longings and anxieties as a faith community.This class won't offer a final verdict or single “right” interpretation. Instead, it will invite open conversation and thoughtful reflection on the religious significance of Christian nationalism—and what it may be asking of the Church today.

Email us: Will@faithfulpoliticspodcast.comIn this episode of Faithful Politics, Josh and I sit down with Dr. Kevin Burke from the University of Georgia, co-author of the National Education Policy Center report Christian Nationalism and Educational Policy in the United States. We explore how Christian nationalism is reshaping public education—from classroom prayer and Ten Commandments laws to school choice and state-funded religious schools.Dr. Burke explains how recent Supreme Court decisions like Kennedy v. Bremerton and Carson v. Makin opened the door for religion to play a larger role in public life and what that means for the future of church-state separation. We also talk about whether this movement reflects a moral revival or a coordinated political project.It's a candid, challenging look at how faith, politics, and education collide in today's culture wars—and what's really at stake for America's classrooms.Watch or listen on YouTube or wherever you get your podcasts.Read the report: https://nepc.colorado.edu/sites/default/files/publications/PB%20Burke-Hadley_0.pdfGuest Bio: Dr. Kevin J. Burke is an Associate Professor at the University of Georgia, specializing in curriculum theory, educational policy, and the cultural intersections of faith, politics, and schooling. His research examines how belief systems—particularly Christian nationalism—inform classroom practices, legislative agendas, and the broader purpose of public education in a democracy.He is the co-author of Christian Nationalism and Educational Policy in the United States, a policy brief published by the National Education Policy Center (NEPC), and has written extensively on religion's influence in American schooling. Dr. Burke's work challenges educators and policymakers to engage ethical dialogue across ideological divides and to safeguard pluralism in public education. Support the show

In this episode, Barney & Austin stage a head-to-head on whether Christian nationalism is a good thing or not! It's time to gather the insights from our past episodes together and see which argument is strongest.

BrownTown sits down for a follow-up conversation to earlier this year, analyzing the shock and awe strategy of the Trump-Musk aligned agenda and how we got there. Fast-forward to fall 2025, BrownTown speaks candidly on Trump's war on Chicago. While the lies and terror of ICE kidnappings, killings, and military-style raids on family housing projects color Operation Midway Blitz, Chicago fights back. More and more, the brutality and incompetence of the alphabet boys is on wide display as everyone from seasoned organizers to everyday community members hold the line and get involved in the most historically effective and creative ways. Now, with the imperial boomerang in full effect and Christian Nationalism more explicitly codified into policy after the murder of Charlie Kirk, BrownTown takes inventory of our current cultural and political moment with a sober analysis and hope for the future.

FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text MessageDebates over “Christian nationalism” are loud, confusing, and often heated. We cut through the noise by defining the term, tracing its historical footprints, and then asking a better question: what kind of political love do Christians owe their country? From Constantine's Roman empire to Spain after the Reconquista to the paradoxes of American civic religion, we map how faith has shaped law, identity, and public symbols—and where that fusion has harmed religious liberty and the common good.We then turn to the modern surge of interest, from the Moral Majority to Stephen Wolfe's call for a Christian nation state, and weigh it against Taylor Marshall's counterpoint: nationalism is the wrong frame. Patriotism, grounded in the virtue of piety, is the older, wiser path. Drawing on Aquinas, we explore the ordo amoris—God, parents, family, neighbor, fatherland—as a safeguard against idolatry of nation and against indifference to civic life. Your homeland deserves love and service, not worship; your neighbor deserves charity, not coercion.What does that look like in practice? We outline a posture that favors persuasion over compulsion, subsidiarity over sweeping control, and laws that protect life, family, and human dignity while guarding conscience and pluralism. Public symbols can unify when tied to shared goods, but they cannot replace the slow work of formation in homes and churches. If you've felt torn between withdrawal and culture war, this conversation offers a third way: confident, ordered love of country that remains accountable to God and oriented to the common good.Key Points from the Episode:• definition of Christian nationalism and its claims• case studies in Rome, Spain, and the United States• symbols, laws, and the limits of state power• Moral Majority to Stephen Wolfe: modern currents• Taylor Marshall's critique of nationalism's roots• patriotism as a virtue in Aquinas's piety• the ordo amoris guiding civic love• practical guardrails for public faithOther resources: Want to leave a review?

A Christian Nationalist movement became present in previous years leading questions of its legitimacy as a Christian political lobby. The visible surge of “Christian Nationalism” had ignited in 2016 with Trump, which re-energized post-2024 election. However, has faith become politically branded with a lobby to entice voting in the Christian churches? We have to wonder if that Christian movement politically motivated rose as a spiritual force to platform God, or just become a promise to reclaim America for God under political means and operates as just another form of control. Is the Dominionism system of the NAR really for taking over spiritually for Jesus Christ, or a front for a false kingdom that replaces true faith with political allegiance?
In this special edition of the Theology Mom podcast, I explain why religious neutrality in the public square is impossible. I also expose Islam's 3-stage jihad plan to colonize America—and share EXACTLY what Christians must do NOW to save our Christian nation. This is your wake-up call. Resources:

[00:02:10] – EU's Climate SuicideKnight exposes how European automakers are forced to buy carbon credits from Chinese EV companies to avoid EU fines, calling it “deindustrialization by design.” He mocks the irony of Western nations paying China—the world's biggest polluter—to “offset” emissions, framing it as proof the climate agenda was never about the environment but global economic control. [00:12:33] – Paris Accord: The Real Industrial KillerKnight revisits the 2015 Paris Climate Accord, blaming it for the West's energy collapse while exempting China and India. He accuses Trump of pretending the treaty was legitimate instead of rejecting it outright, saying this preserved executive overreach and guaranteed continued U.S. compliance with globalist energy restrictions. [00:35:50] – Trump's $230 Million Self-Pay ScandalKnight exposes Trump's plan to reimburse himself $230 million in taxpayer money for legal expenses, calling it proof of his monarchical attitude toward power. He says Trump's behavior shows that presidents now act like kings—raiding the Treasury for personal gain while claiming to fight corruption. [01:29:10] – CIA Lies and Deep State Hypocrisy Knight covers Jim Jordan's perjury referral against former CIA Director John Brennan, noting how the GOP ignored far worse crimes by Gina Haspel and James Clapper. He argues these selective prosecutions are not about restoring the rule of law but enforcing loyalty to Trump. [02:04:15] – Trump's Enemies List and CIA RetributionKnight reveals Trump's “Interagency Weaponization Working Group,” a coalition of federal agencies targeting his personal enemies. He argues this proves Trump's “deep state purge” is really a consolidation of power—a political revenge operation that turns the intelligence apparatus into a presidential hit squad. [02:15:48] – Trump's Lies, War Plans & Venezuela EscalationKnight ridicules Trump's claim to be greater than Washington and Lincoln while pushing CIA operations and airstrikes in Venezuela. He praises Rand Paul for opposing Trump's “summary executions at sea,” calling it a new form of civil asset forfeiture—“confiscation of life without trial.” [02:35:20] – War Crimes, Christian Nationalism & the New InquisitionKnight condemns Christian nationalist figures like Pete Hegseth for glorifying extrajudicial killings as holy wars. He says this betrayal of Christian ethics turns faith into a tool of empire and makes American militarism a form of religious apostasy. [02:40:35] – The Coming War & Trump's MadnessKnight warns that Trump's open use of the CIA in Venezuela marks the next stage of U.S. regime-change wars. He praises Rand Paul's bipartisan resolution (S.J. Res. 90) to block unauthorized military action and calls Trump “the most double-minded man in history,” pretending to be a peacekeeper while preparing for war Follow the show on Kick and watch live every weekday 9:00am EST – 12:00pm EST https://kick.com/davidknightshow Money should have intrinsic value AND transactional privacy: Go to https://davidknight.gold/ for great deals on physical gold/silverFor 10% off Gerald Celente's prescient Trends Journal, go to https://trendsjournal.com/ and enter the code KNIGHTFind out more about the show and where you can watch it at TheDavidKnightShow.com If you would like to support the show and our family please consider subscribing monthly here: SubscribeStar https://www.subscribestar.com/the-david-knight-showOr you can send a donation throughMail: David Knight POB 994 Kodak, TN 37764Zelle: @DavidKnightShow@protonmail.comCash App at: $davidknightshowBTC to: bc1qkuec29hkuye4xse9unh7nptvu3y9qmv24vanh7Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-david-knight-show--2653468/support.
