Christian Nationalism was on full display during the January 6 Insurrection in the form of flags, t-shirts, and a troubling prayer from the floor of the sacked Senate (as heard in this trailer). But what exactly is Christian Nationalism? Why is it attractive to a growing number of Americans? And what can churches and individuals do to confront it?
This limited series from Common Good Media sets out to answer those questions. Guided by Doug Pagitt, Executive Director of Vote Common Good, you’ll hear unabashed Christian Nationalists describe in their own words why they think America should be a ”Christian Nation.” You’ll also hear from experts, authors and theologians opposed to this dangerous ideology including:
Amanda Tyler of the Baptist Joint Committee for Religious Liberty
Kristen Du Mez, Author of Jesus and John Wayne
Sociologists Samuel Perry and Andrew Whitehead
Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove, Shane Claiborne, Katherine Stewart, Brian Zahnd, Michael Waters and more.

Over the last three episodes, we’ve learned a lot about what Christian nationalism is and the reasons many find it attractive. This episode we respond to the question we get asked the most: so what do we do? How can churches and individuals talk about Christian Nationalism and offer people an off-ramp from this destructive ideology? How can we help de-radicalize our friends, family members or neighbors?
There’s not a cookie cutter, one size fits all answer but we think the solution starts with this: empathy and engagement.
You'll hear from Kristin Du Mez, Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove, Samuel Perry, Stephanie Rose Spaulding, and Bradley Onishi on where the Christian Nationalist movement is going and how churches and individuals can respond to it.
