The New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) is reshaping the intersection of faith and politics in America. But what exactly is it? In this episode of Faithful Politics, award-winning journalist Stephanie McCrummen joins hosts Will Wright and Josh Burtram to discuss her recent Atlantic article on the NAR and its growing political influence.
They explore the movement’s theological roots, its dominionist ideology, and its alignment with figures like Donald Trump and Elon Musk. Stephanie shares her firsthand reporting from prayer meetings and church gatherings where believers view political victories as spiritual warfare. The conversation also covers the Seven Mountains Mandate, the role of apostles and prophets in modern Christian nationalism, and the broader implications for democracy and religious pluralism.
Join us as we unpack this powerful movement and its potential impact on policies, education, and the future of American governance.
