Donald Trump's victory in the 2016 U.S. Presidential election might have been a surprise to some. But to historian Kristin Kobes Du Mez, it was the latest chapter in a long relationship between white American masculinity and evangelical Christianity. As the 2024 election draws near, Du Mez shares how exclusion, patriarchy, and Christian nationalism are the basis for the evangelical church.  

In this bonus episode, Elyse interviews Kristin Kobes Du Mez, author of Jesus and John Wayne about her new film, For Our Daughters. In this documentary, which is a collaboration between women who were sexually assaulted, shamed, and blamed by their churches, and attorney Rachael Denhollender, Du Mez connects the dots between toxic masculinity, the treatment of many women in the evangelical church, the lust for power resident in the Christian Nationalist movement, and our current political context.   The film and other resources may be accessed for free at https://www.forourdaughtersfilm.com/ or on YouTube.   Due to the nature of some of the topics, this podcast comes with a discretion warning.   Kristin Kobes Du Mez is a NYT best selling author and professor of History and Gender Studies at Calvin University. She holds a PhD from the University of Norte Dame and her research focuses on the intersection of gender, religion, and politics. Her most recent book is Jesus and John Wayne: How White Evangelicals Corrupted a Faith and Fractured a Nation.

Being a cultural Christian used to be an insult, but more people are embracing the label with pride. The Holy Post crew unpacks what's behind the growing affection for cultural Christianity, and they explain why it's more important than ever to embrace the weird, supernatural beliefs of the faith. Historian Kristen Kobes Du Mez is back to discuss her new documentary, “For Our Daughters,” about the sexual abuse scandals that have shaken the faith of many in the church. She sees a link between the theology and culture that created and covered-up sexual abuse in the church, and the rise of political idolatry within evangelicalism. Also this week—hurricanes are now political, and a Haitian pastor in New Hampshire with a sense of humor invites pets to his church.   For Our Daughters Full Documentary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IkES4X_qb6c   Holy Post Plus: Getting Schooled: Debt and Theology 101 https://www.patreon.com/posts/113616129/   0:00 - Intro   1:18 - Show Starts   3:24 - Theme Song   3:45 - Sponsor - Sundays Dog Food - Get 40% off your first order of Sundays.

Renowned historian and New York Times bestselling author, Kristin Kobes Du Mez (Jesus and John Wayne) explores the culture of submission and sexual abuse within the evangelical community in her riveting documentary, FOR OUR DAUGHTERS, available to stream on September 26.Directed by Emmy award-winning filmmaker Carl Byker, the film draws a direct line from the culture of abuse created by evangelical leaders to their fervent support for a presidential candidate who has bragged about abusing women.For Our Daughters is available online September 26.FOR OUR DAUGHTERS features sit-down interviews with victims and whistleblowers of sexual abuse in the SBC, including acclaimed author Christa Brown (Baptistland), featured in the landmark 2019 investigation from the Houston Chronicle and San Antonio Express-News. The groundbreaking report examined sexual misconduct reports across the Southern Baptist Convention, and found hundreds of church leaders and volunteers across 20 states who had been criminally charged with sex crimes since 2000, leading to more than 700 victims. Interviews with survivor-advocates Tiffany Thigpen, Jules Woodson, Rachael Denhollander (What Is a Girl Worth), and Cait West (Rift) are also featured, highlighting their efforts to bring justice and reform to the church.A timely exploration of the intersection between faith, politics, and women's rights in America, the film honors the brave survivors who have shared their stories, often at great cost. It delves into how the church has cared more about power and political influence than love, and how the harm done to women and children threatens to extend beyond faith communities given what is at stake this election season."Just months after Jesus and John Wayne released, three conservative evangelical women asked to speak with me," says Du Mez. "To my surprise, they thanked me and asked how they could help. 'It's too late for us,' they told me. 'We've made our choices, and we can't walk away from the lives we've made. But we want something different for our daughters.' I've carried their words with me. This film is for them, and for their daughters."Abuse within the evangelical community starkly contradicts Jesus' teachings about women, which emphasize love, respect, and honor. By exposing the abuse and the abusers who distort God's name to justify their actions, FOR OUR DAUGHTERS challenges women to be a driving force within their own communities. The film calls on women of faith to raise their voices and wisely consider their vote as a means to protect the health, happiness, and liberties of their daughters and granddaughters.FOR OUR DAUGHTERS is executive produced by Kenneth Harbaugh, and Charlie Sadoff, and will be available to stream for free on YouTube starting September 26.Resources for sexual and spiritual abuse survivors can be found at forourdaughtersfilm.com.✖️✖️✖️Support the Show: Patreon.com/PreacherBoys✖️✖️✖️If you or someone you know has experienced abuse, visit courage365.org/need-help✖️✖️✖️CONNECT WITH THE SHOW:preacherboyspodcast.comhttps://www.youtube.com/@PreacherBoyshttps://www.facebook.com/preacherboysdoc/https://twitter.com/preacherboysdochttps://www.instagram.com/preacherboyspodhttps://www.tiktok.com/@preacherboyspodTo connect with a community that shares the Preacher Boys Podcast's mission to expose abuse in the IFB, join the OFFICIAL Preacher Boys Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1403898676438188/✖️✖️✖️The content presented in this video is for informational and educational purposes only.

What happens when one of the country's most outspoken critics of white male Christian political conservatism sits down with a well-known white male conservative Christian political pundit? Find out, as Kristin Du Mez and David French discuss politics, culture, and the desperate need for hospitality in the digital age on No Small Endeavor with Lee C. Camp.

The last five or six years have been rough for many thoughtful faithful Christians. The embrace of Trump and Trumpism, the rise of ethnic nationalism and xenophobia, conspiracy theories and abuse scandals have rocked the church. Many have walked away in disgust. Some have spoken out and paid the price and yet, rather than walking away, they have remained committed to Christ and his church. One of those people is Kristen Du Mez, a New York Times best selling author and professor of History at Calvin University. Her book, "Jesus and John Wayne" made headlines by examining how toxic masculinity and misogyny within white evangelicalism has affected American history and culture. The reaction to Du Mez's book within White Evangelicalism was swift and ugly. Skye sat down with Kristin Du Mez to hear her story and find out why, through it all, she's still following Jesus.   0:00 - Theme Song 0:29 - Intro 1:37 -  How Kristin became a Christian 7:38 - Kristin's thoughts on Evangelicalism 22:04 - Sponsor - AG1 To get your FREE 1 year supply of Vitamin D AND 5 free travel packs with your first purchase, go to athleticgreens.com/HOLYPOST 23:33 - What's helping Kristin remain a Christian today 37:10 - End Credits Resources: Kristin Du Mez https://kristindumez.com/ Jesus and John Wayne: How White Evangelicals Corrupted a Faith and Fractured a Nation https://amzn.to/3LAtT7U Episode Music - “Sorrow's Got a Hold On Me” by Paul Zachhttps://www.paulzachmusic.com/ https://open.spotify.com/album/0IGfsm8Y61UxmkCcaAWtHg   Holy Post website: https://www.holypost.com/ Holy Post Plus: www.holypost.com/plus Holy Post Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/holypost Holy Post Merch Store: https://www.holypost.com/shop The Holy Post is supported by our listeners.

Marta & Mandy are joined by friend and colleague Jeff Scholes to interview Kristin Du Mez about her book Jesus and John Wayne: How White Evangelicals Corrupted a Faith and Fractured a Nation. Kristin Kobes Du Mez is a New York Times bestselling author and Professor of History and Gender Studies at Calvin University. She holds a PhD from the University of Notre Dame and her research focuses on the intersection of gender, religion, and politics. Jeff Scholes is Associate Professor of Religious Studies in the Department of Philosophy and the Director of the Center for Religious Diversity and Public Life at the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs, which will bring Kristin to Colorado Springs to talk about her work on February 23, 2023.

Peter and Susannah speak with Tara Isabella Burton and Tim Shriver about their manifesto calling for a new “spiritual realism.” Should questions of the Good and of human purpose be off the table in serious political discussion, either because they're subjective and not real, or because they're too divisive and dangerous? No, argue Burton and Shriver – and the current state of the polity in fact demands that we take these questions seriously. They argue that Enlightenment liberalism has proven insufficient to provide either a metaphysical or a political framework for human life, and call for citizens and leaders to build institutions that will support a more robustly moral realist vision of politics and community. Then, Peter and Susannah talk with Boze Herrington and Hannah Long about Kristin Kobes Du Mez's book Jesus and John Wayne. Hannah, Boze and Susannah make the case that the genre of the traditional Western is not something which must only be deconstructed and criticized, but which in fact offers occasions to reflect on the deepest questions of human moral and political life: what is the role of force in an unjust world, what is the good of civilization, and what is the code that one ought to live by? Du Mez's recent book, they argue, does not understand or do justice to the genre.

Anne and Matt discuss Mari Kondo having children and kissing minimalism goodbye. Then they talk about Andy Stanley leaving the faith and why people who’ve followed Rob Bell, Brian Mclaren, Jen Hatmaker, and Du Mez only to have them apostatize...

The second part of the live interview from Pepperdine's Harbor with Kristin Du Mez

A conversation from Pepperdine University with Kirstin Du Mez author of Jesus and John Wayne. 

Hey friends! It's time for another grad school/Conversations mash up! I will be chatting about the impact of the Kinsey Report (first of its kind report on human sexuality, late 1940s/early 1950s) on Christian thought, particularly in American contexts. Because this is a research paper, I share all of my citations in the video, and below in this description. If you want the TL:DR, the Kinsey Reports galvanized two distinct and opposing theological interpretations of the Biblical view of sexuality, particularly in regard to queerness. I assert that the Kinsey reports inspired a virulent and boisterous anti LGBTQ strain of Christianity that is interconnected to themes of Christian Nationalism, Patriarchy, and Patriotism. At the same time, the Kinsey Report empowered liberal protestants to engage their theology in conversation with the developing understanding of humanity. By contrast, conservatives coalesced around staunch opposition to progress in any form. I propose that, as a result of comprehensive and ongoing research, it is evident that queerness is not condemned by Christianity in antiquity.Anti LGBTQ religious rhetoric is a result of anachronistic readings of the scripture.The freedom and diversity of queerness is opposed by the American Evangelical constellation of churches because it frees individuals from peonage to the church.

Kristin Kobes Du Mez is a professor of history and gender studies at Calvin University — a private evangelical college. Her book, "Jesus and John Wayne: How White Evangelicals Corrupted a Faith and Fractured a Nation," has caused a huge stir. The argument in Du Mez's book is that the attempt to infuse Christianity with more muscle, to make Christian men in particular more aggressive, has gone badly astray. Du Mez documents the roots of this muscular Christianity rising out of a response to industrialization and the loss of meaningful work for many men, over a century ago.Du Mez writes in the book that "for conservative white evangelicals, the 'good news' of the Christian gospel has become inextricably linked to a staunch commitment to patriarchal authority, gender difference, and Christian nationalism, and all of these are intertwined with white racial identity."In this episode, we discuss what Du Mez means by gender difference, and what exactly she's critiquing. It's not all gender difference but a kind of black and white thinking about what men and women can and cannot be. And we also talk about the connection between the deification of men in religious subcultures, and the connection to how abuses of power -- especially sexual abuse and harassment -- have been covered up by religious institutions.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/thelonggame.

In 'Jesus and John Wayne: How White Evangelicals Corrupted a Faith and Fractured a Nation,' author Kristin Kobes Du Mez seeks to solve the mystery of overwhelming American Evangelical support for Donald Trump in the 2016 presidential election, yet ends up mostly recounting major scandals among conservative leaders due to, as she sees it, toxic masculinity and the patriarchy. Dr. Du Mez is a professor of history, gender studies, and urban studies at Calvin University in Grand Rapids, Michigan. She holds a PhD in American History from the University of Notre Dame, with specialties in both women's and religious history. Her first book, 'A New Gospel for Women: Katharine Bushnell and the Challenge of Christian Feminism' was published in 2015. And if the subtitle of the work were not enough, all of this together comes through in the kind of book 'Jesus and John Wayne' ends up being. I am on the opposite end of the theological and political spectrum to Dr. Du Mez, and knew a month ago today from reading an excellent review by Michael Young at American Reformer - we're not going to agree about what to make of conservative Americans, Christians or not. Yet I read her book anyway much the same way a defense attorney or judge or member of the jury would listen to the prosecuting attorney make their case when they know the defendant is innocent, or at least not guilty of the crime they stand accused of. The trouble with this work is a common one with the worldview of the Left. The conclusions are foregone, and the underlying premise is unquestionable even as it molds and shapes every conclusion drawn from the evidence considered. If you enjoy Howard Zinn's 'A People's History of the United States' - written by an avowed Marxist as an argument that free market capitalism and the original vision of limited government have served as little more than a veiled will to power by wealthy straight white Protestant men seeking to oppress women and minorities, then you will also enjoy this also. It follows the same pattern. Present all the worst scandals like a greatest hits album, then use said scandals disgracing leaders and churches and movements to throw everyone who holds to a conservative interpretation of either the Bible or America's historical and founding documents into, as Hillary Clinton put it, "a basket of deplorables." What gets overlooked, however, is the fact that conservatives also have denounced the abuses Du Mez is recounting here. Otherwise it is a wonder so many of the men mentioned have been defrocked when their indiscretions and sins came to light. Furthermore, were Du Mez correct in her insinuation that such are totally fine and acceptable to "White Evangelicals," then it is very curious indeed that all of the scandals listed were kept secret by the transgressors for years and decades. Clearly the leaders who fell by scandal into disrepute believed their sins would not be tolerated by their followers and fellows were they to come to light, nor were they. Du Mez plays fast and loose not so much with the facts so far as I as I know, but with her characterization of the facts and what conclusions we should draw from them. That is, the conclusions do not follow. 'Jesus and John Wayne' ends up reading like one long Leftist argumentum ad hominem and non sequitur diatribe against those who stand in the way of "progress," as folks like Dr. Du Mez define it. She offers no meaningful exploration of whether the views and positions of conservatives are true or correct, however, but contents herself with smearing the reputation of the whole lot. Suffice to say real examples of toxicity are to be found in this work; I just think Du Mez's treatment of the subject is among them. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/garrett-ashley-mullet/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/garrett-ashley-mullet/support

Kristin Du Mez reminds us that she is a historian first, even though her sensational book, Jesus and John Wayne, has invoked fierce theological backlash from evangelicals. Hear her response to the pushback, plus a breakdown of the patriarchy that is so persistent in evangelical churches.

As a jumping off point for this episode, I offer up for your consideration 'Jesus and John Wayne among the Deplorables' by Michael Young. Published March 11th at American Reformer, the subject of the book review is a title from last summer by Kristin Kobes Du Mez, 'Jesus and John Wayne: How White Evangelicals Corrupted a Faith and Fractured a Nation.' With a name like that, you can't but help tip your hat. Putting Christ and the Duke together is a sure-fire way to get people's attention. But the subtitle contains the substance, and herein lies the rub - like when you find out that the real-life actor and comedian who plays Ron Swanson is not actually a conservative. How precisely white Evangelicals are alleged by Du Mez to have corrupted the Christian faith and fractured America I mean to find out in more detail when I soon read her book in its entirety. But for this episode in the meantime we can work off Michael Young's review. The long and short of it is that American Christianity needs deconstructing. Oh, we've got trouble, right here in River City. It starts with a P and it ends with -atriarchy. One gets the distinct impression that we are being told to never mind what the Bible says. And listen to Michael Foucault instead. We've all been reading and studying and teaching and applying the Scriptures wrong all this time. And that is the fault of Emperor Constantine and the Council of Nicaea and over a millennium-and-a-half of truth claims disguising repressive power plays by men. Scandal after scandal among conservative culture warriors in American Evangelicalism, culminating in the majority of American Evangelicals voting for Donald Trump in 2016 and 2020 - it all adds up to one thing. We are to believe that our Christianity is rotten to the core. We thought we were striving for sound doctrine and careful exegesis. What really happened was that women and minorities were being kept down all this time by straight white men pursuing sex and power, cloaking their selfish ambition in a lot of fine-sounding talk about Jesus which they really didn't mean, and therefore we shouldn't either. Once again, what is needed with the deconstructionists is to deconstruct their deconstructionism. When we do this, what we find is a direct line of thought back to Jean-Jacques Rousseau who worked from the premise that "Man is born free, but everywhere is in chains." This for its part led to the deeply-held conviction many of us now cling stubbornly to that authentic self-expression is the greatest good we can pursue. This in turn leads to one inescapable conclusion that we are inherently good, not born with a sinful nature which we must be saved from by the Almighty. Furthermore, we find also if we go even farther back the original question from the serpent to the first woman Eve. "Hath God said?" But suppose the answer to the question is in the affirmative and God hath said. What then? Put simply, sometimes then we will just argue ourselves in circles that we can only understand what God said rightly if we have the Devil translate and interpret the plain meaning for us. And then we write books like 'Jesus and John Wayne.' --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/garrett-ashley-mullet/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/garrett-ashley-mullet/support

How did a libertine who lacks even the most basic knowledge of the Christian faith win 81 percent of the white evangelical vote in 2016? Why have white evangelicals become a presidential reprobate's staunchest supporters? Scot and Laura investigate these questions evaluated by acclaimed historian Kristin Kobes Du Mez. She asks these questions and more in Jesus and John Wayne, which delves beyond facile headlines to explain how white evangelicals have brought us to our fractured political moment. Challenging the commonly held assumption that the “moral majority” backed Donald Trump for purely pragmatic reasons, Du Mez reveals that Donald Trump in fact represents the fulfillment, rather than the betrayal, of white evangelicals' most deeply held values.

Professor Kristin Du Mez joins The Great Battlefield podcast to talk about her book "Jesus and John Wayne: How White Evangelicals Corrupted a Faith and Fractured a Nation".

In this solo episode (Jessica will be back next week), Hemant interviewed Kristin Kobes Du Mez, author of the New York Times bestseller "Jesus and John Wayne: How White Evangelicals Corrupted a Faith and Fractured a Nation." The book attempts to explain why white evangelicals overwhelmingly supported Donald Trump, despite all the non-Trumpy values they claimed to hold dear before he came along, by looking at the history of evangelical culture.  2:40 Why did you write this book? 5:00 The subtitle of your book is who white evangelicals corrupted a faith and fractured a nation. And I sometimes wonder did they corrupt the faith or did guys like Donald Trump expose the faith for what it's always been? 7:02 Are you cherry picking bad actors, like Mark Driscoll, who exist in every tradition, or do guys like Driscoll fairly represent this strain of conservative Christianity? 10:20 How much blame should we place on moderate Christians who platform these toxic people? 14:38 Is there a good definition of evangelicalism that outsiders would agree with? 18:28 Are your students more receptive to your ideas than your colleagues? 20:35 Are white evangelicals uniquely bad with toxic masculinity or is this just a problem with Americans at large? Or all of humanity? 23:32 Is Jerry Falwell, Jr. making a comeback?  25:25 Is there going to be a backlash to Trumpism that affects evangelicals? 30:06 SPONSOR: HelloFresh! https://www.hellofresh.com/friendlyatheist16 31:19 Is the impending end of Roe v. Wade good or bad for evangelicals on a strategic level? 34:12 Are white evangelicals really hypocrites about Trump considering he kept his anti-abortion promises?  37:55 Is evangelical Christianity a force for good? 40:55 What is your reaction to Girl Defined and other young Christian women who promote Christian patriarchy on YouTube? 42:00 What would you say to a megachurch pastor who comes to you for advice? 46:35 How come Christian stereotypes include both manly patriarchs as well as hipster skinny jean pastors?  49:45  Are you unfairly painting lower and middle class white men in the worst possible light? 52:30 Are white evangelicals really as powerful as you suggest they are?

When the Access Hollywood “locker room talk” tape hit the mainstream on October 7, 2016, both Russell Moore and historian Kristin Du Mez were horrified. But while Moore felt surprised by the evangelical response—or lack of response—to the video, Du Mez saw it as a predictable outcome of militant masculinity within evangelicalism. In their conversation, and in her book Jesus and John Wayne, Du Mez explains why. On this episode of The Russell Moore Show, Moore and Du Mez talk about the overlap of history, politics, and Christianity when it comes to understanding American evangelicalism's relationship to gender. They also discuss the centrality of sexual purity in much of American Christianity in the past few decades and the specific devastation caused by leaders who espoused those messages and later acted as predators. They share their thoughts on the parallels between changes in the Republican party and evangelicalism over the past few years, and what it means to realize that what you once saw as a fringe group within your tribe was, in fact, more of a core than you had ever imagined.

What do Jesus, John Wayne, and evangelical Christians have in common? In this conversation with Kristin Du Mez, we pull on the thread from the previous episode with Matt Distefano where he gives insight into mimetic theory and scapegoating - two processes that Jesus did not participate in. Kristin shares the meaning behind her book, Jesus and John Wayne, and explains how Christian masculinity turned Christ into an image of cowboy warrior masculinity and violence. Again, the opposite of what Jesus actually modeled and taught.    In this episode, we cover: The remaking of Christian masculinity and how Christ is compared to John Wayne and other warrior characters The racial issues of the white evangelical belief system Money and power in the Christian industry Jesus and John Wayne _   *New episodes released every other Monday

Kristin Kobes Du Mez - Jesus and John Wayne: How White Evangelicals Corrupted a Faith and Fractured a Nation Paperback The “paradigm-influencing” book (Christianity Today) that is fundamentally transforming our understanding of white evangelicalism in America. Jesus and John Wayne is a sweeping, revisionist history of the last seventy-five years of white evangelicalism, revealing how evangelicals have worked to replace the Jesus of the Gospels with an idol of rugged masculinity and Christian nationalism―or in the words of one modern chaplain, with “a spiritual badass.” As acclaimed scholar Kristin Du Mez explains, the key to understanding this transformation is to recognize the centrality of popular culture in contemporary American evangelicalism. Many of today's evangelicals might not be theologically astute, but they know their VeggieTales, they've read John Eldredge's Wild at Heart, and they learned about purity before they learned about sex―and they have a silver ring to prove it. Evangelical books, films, music, clothing, and merchandise shape the beliefs of millions. And evangelical culture is teeming with muscular heroes―mythical warriors and rugged soldiers, men like Oliver North, Ronald Reagan, Mel Gibson, and the Duck Dynasty clan, who assert white masculine power in defense of “Christian America.” Chief among these evangelical legends is John Wayne, an icon of a lost time when men were uncowed by political correctness, unafraid to tell it like it was, and did what needed to be done. Challenging the commonly held assumption that the “moral majority” backed Donald Trump in 2016 and 2020 for purely pragmatic reasons, Du Mez reveals that Trump in fact represented the fulfillment, rather than the betrayal, of white evangelicals' most deeply held values: patriarchy, authoritarian rule, aggressive foreign policy, fear of Islam, ambivalence toward #MeToo, and opposition to Black Lives Matter and the LGBTQ community. A much-needed reexamination of perhaps the most influential subculture in this country, Jesus and John Wayne shows that, far from adhering to biblical principles, modern white evangelicals have remade their faith, with enduring consequences for all Americans. Kristin Kobes Du Mez is a professor of History and Gender Studies at Calvin University. She holds a PhD from the University of Notre Dame and her research focuses on the intersection of gender, religion, and politics. She has written for the Washington Post, Religion News Service, Christianity Today, Christian Century, and Religion & Politics, and has been interviewed on NPR, CTV, the CBC, and by CNN, the New York Times, the Economist, the Christian Post, PBS News Hour, and the AP, among other outlets, and she blogs at Patheos's Anxious Bench. Her most recent book is Jesus and John Wayne: How White Evangelicals Corrupted a Faith and Fractured a Nation.

Why is white evangelical culture often so controlling and resistant to change? Why is there so much abuse in white evangelical churches? And how did the people of “family values” fall in line behind Donald Trump in such large numbers? These are questions answered in Jesus and John Wayne: How White Evangelicals Corrupted a Faith and Fractured a Nation by Dr. Kristin Kobes Du Mez, Professor of History and Gender Studies at Calvin University. Her deeply researched history book pushes beyond facile headlines to discover why white evangelicalism isn't as pure as many of its adherents believe. Historical analysis spanning decades culminates in a stunning conclusion: Donald Trump represents the fulfillment, rather than the betrayal, of white evangelicals' most deeply held values. In the first half of this episode, Kristin shares some of the history of how white evangelicalism became what it is today. In the second half, Mark and Kristin discuss the real-world implications of white evangelical teachings and culture, and the enduring consequences for us all.

Unless you’re living in total media blackout, you’ve got at least an awareness of the effect Christianity has on every aspect of America. What you might not know is how deep (and frankly, dark) that rabbit hole goes. The brilliant history professor Kristin Du Mez does, though, so I brought her on for an exploration of evangelical Christianity, its obsession with “warrior Christ”, the contortion and cherry-picking of doctrine, and how it ties into politics and the military.  Kristin Kobes Du Mez is a Professor of History and Gender Studies at Calvin University. She holds a Ph.D. from the University of Notre Dame and her research focuses on the intersection of gender, religion, and politics.

Kristin Du Mez is the author of Jesus and John Wayne: How White Evangelicals Corrupted a Faith and Fractured a Nation. Du Mez explains how right-wing extremists took over the Republican Party and why they view the evildoer Donald Trump as a type of savior and weapon to advance their Christian fascist war on secular democracy. Du Mez also highlights the role of white right-wing Christian extremists in Trump's coup attack and lethal assault on the Capitol – and the importance of the movie Braveheart in their imaginary. And she explains how and why the anti-Semitic Q-Anon conspiracy movement has been able to so easily take over many white right-wing evangelical churches. Chauncey DeVega shares his thoughts on "Champion" Joe Biden's speech to Congress, the professional best black friend for the Republican Party Tim Scott, and why Stephen Miller continues to be one of the most dangerous people in America and the world.

An interview with Kristin Du Mez, Professor of History and Gender Studies at Calvin University and author of a provocative new book entitled Jesus and John Wayne: How White Evangelicals Corrupted a Faith and Fractured a Nation. In light of the fact that 81% of white evangelicals supposedly voted for Donald Trump in the 2016 election, many have tried to make sense of how “family values voters” could have supported Trump. Du Mez, in contrast, claims that this support of Trump was not in contradiction to, but consistent with, the deeper values of American evangelical Christianity. Regardless of your politics, you will not find this an episode that leaves you without some emotion. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Kristin Du Mez is Professor of History at Calvin University and author of Jesus and John Wayne. If you haven't heard about this book yet, you will soon because it is lighting Evangelicalism on fire. Kristin shares about growing up a bit sheltered in Northwest Iowa Dutch country, how moving and travel began to expand her understanding of the world, and why she decided to address militarism in the Christian faith. Kristen's story reminds us that we need to know Christian history to understand our faith. Listen to Kristin's story now! Stories Kristin shared: Growing up in Dutch Reformed circles in Northwest, Iowa Feeling supported and nurtured in that area Moving to Tallahassee, FL and learning that she was a little sheltered Spending a year in Germany Growing up always believing and making a profession of faith in college Cultivating spiritual experiences through reading in Christian history Observing how faith can be used to grasp for power A summer of discontent How understanding Christianity changed her faith The history of biblical literalism and how that shaped her Taking off the pressure to be right Landing on intellectual engagement as a way to inform her faith Deciding to address militarism in Christian faith Wrestling with whether she should be bringing issues to the fore How the cold war influenced our faith today How the Bible gets distorted and treated as truth The fruit of the Spirit as the definition of biblical masculinity Great quotes from Kristin: My working assumption was that Christianity is constant within history. If anything, my historical studies disrupted this notion of communion with my fellow believers. If you're holding on so tightly to your narrow conception of truth, that's a faith that can easily be shaken. A lot of Evangelicals have bought into a very us versus them mentality, that God is on our side and therefore anything that I do is righteous.

The Christianity many of us were introduced to had a rugged masculinity attached to it; one that demands a stoicism and strict adherence to just “being the best we can.” Why have we replaced the Jesus of the Bible with a cowboy in essence?

Those of us who were raised evangelical are well acquainted with the terms “family values” and “Christian values.” But do we know where they came from, what came before them, and that they're more political than they are rooted in Christ? That's why historian Kristin Kobes Du Mez's seminal new book Jesus and John Wayne: How White Evangelicals Corrupted a Faith and Fractured a Nation is a game-changer…for anyone willing to read it and take it seriously. We delve deeper into why she wrote it, what in her research surprised her the most, and how knowing this history can uproot our faith—in a good way.Follow Dr. Du Mez on Twitter @kkdumez or on Facebook @kkdumez.For show notes, click here or go to holyheretics.org.Follow us on social media!

In this episode of The Two Cities podcast we talk with Dr. Kristin Kobes Du Mez, professor of history at Calvin University, about her book Jesus and John Wayne: How White Evangelicals Corrupted A Faith and Fractured A Nation (Liveright, 2020). Over the course of the conversation Dr. Du Mez tells us about some of the most shocking findings from her book, how Jesus and John Wayne fits within her longstanding research interests in militant Christian masculinity in the US, and how those themes can be traced through the teachings of key Christian leaders like James Dobson, John Eldridge, Douglas Wilson, Doug Phillips, John Piper, Mark Driscoll, Jerry Falwell Sr., and Jerry Falwell Jr., among others. We also go beyond the book in connecting the insights from it to the events of January 6, the insurrection at the Capitol building, and the recent attempts to overthrow American democracy. The Two Cities team members on the episode include Amber Bowen, Dr. John Anthony Dunne, Grace Emmett, Grace Sangalang Ng, Rev. Daniel Parham, Chris Porter, and Dr. Logan Williams.

In 2016, around 75% of white evangelicals voted for Trump. Many said that they, "held their noses" to vote for him. But historian and author Dr. Kristin Du Mez traces a century of historical development. "Evangelicals did not vote against their convictions," writes Du Mez, "but with them." In this interview, Du Mez explains the history of radical masculinity, nationalism, racism, power, and money which has driven Evangelicalism to the present moment.  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/josiah-meyer/message

Victoria Reynolds Farmer interviews Kristen Kobes du Mez about her recent book "Jesus and John Wayne."

My guest this week is Kristin Kobes Du Mez, author of the new book Jesus and John Wayne: How White Evangelicals Corrupted a Faith and Fractured a Nation (Bookshop.org, Amazon).  Her book examines the role that cultural ideals of evangelical masculinity have been influenced more by John Wayne than by Jesus of Nazareth. If you've spent time in white evangelical circles, much of this will ring true; if you wonder why evangelicals are drawn to "strong men" like Donald Trump, her work will help explain why.  By tracking the development of "masculinity" through 20th & 21st century popular evangelical culture, Du Mez helps us understand our present moment better.  You can learn more about Kristin Kobes Du Mez's work on her website, and be sure to follow her on Twitter.  Follow Blake on Twitter @brchastain and on Instagram @brchastain_.
