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.

What was once a fringe ideology took center stage during the January 6, 2021 insurrection when a mob mobilized by former president Trump, many with Christian flags or shirts, violently stormed the capitol. But what is Christian Nationalism?We don't want to mischaracterize or debate straw-man arguments, so in this episode we hear straight from those who espouse this ideology including Congresswoman Mayra Flores, former Attorney General Jeff Sessions, and the an insurrectionist known as the Qanon Shaman who prayed a distinctly Christian Nationalist prayer after storming the Senate chambers.
In Episode 2 you'll hear from experts in sociology and theology to unpack why Christian Nationalism is bad for the church and democracy.
