In this episode, Tim Whitaker (The New Evangelicals) joins me to expose the direct theological line connecting Moscow, Idaho pastor Doug Wilson to Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth.
We are witnessing the mainstreaming of a specific brand of Christian Nationalism—one that isn't just about "God and Country," but about implementing a strategy to capture American institutions.
We break down the specific theology of the MOscow, Idaho movement, the influence of Stephen Wolfe’s The Case for Christian Nationalism, and why Pete Hegseth’s admiration for these ideas poses a unique threat to the U.S. military. This isn't just a political disagreement; it is a theological takeover of the most powerful military in the world.
Topics Covered:
The theological link between Pete Hegseth and Doug Wilson
What "Christian Reconstructionism" actually looks like in practice
Why this brand of Christian Nationalism is dangerous for the military
