Pete Hegseth, Doug Wilson & the Rise of Religious Nationalism | Conversation with Amy Hawk
Is America’s defense leadership aligning with an authoritarian Christian nationalist project? Pat Kahnke and author Amy Hawk unpack Pete Hegseth’s rhetoric (“FAFO,” “Department of War”), his Moscow-Idaho connections, and Doug Wilson’s “All of Christ for All of Life.”
Topics We Cover
Hegseth’s speech to generals: machismo, “war-fighters,” and the “enemy within”
“Personnel is policy” and why it matters for civilian control of the military
Doug Wilson’s Moscow movement: institutions, slogans, and authoritarian theology
“All of Christ for All of Life” and culture-war governance
Household headship, voting debates, and the rhetoric around “heritage Americans”
Why this is not fringe anymore—and why Christians and non-Christians should care
