"I used to believe what Charlie Kirk believes. And that’s why I need to speak out now."
In this deeply personal video, I reflect on my own past as a soft Christian nationalist — and why Charlie Kirk’s memorial service hit me so hard.
Many people saw that event as a moving tribute. I saw it as something else entirely: a worship service for empire, not Jesus. But before I go deep into that service in upcoming videos, I need to share why I understand how so many Christians missed the danger.
I was one of them.
In this video, I talk about:
– My own history with Christian nationalism
– The Pat Buchanan speech that stirred me in 1992
– Why I left the echo chamber
– What Revelation really says about empire
– And why we should be careful not to canonize Charlie Kirk
This is not a takedown. It’s a call to remember the gospel of the Lamb — and to stop confusing it with the beast of empire.
