By now many of you may be convinced Christian Nationalism (=CN) is a “well organized social movement of real people who wield enormous power over the church, our political system, and our life together.” You may also know that “adherents of Christian nationalism have been readying for conflict for sixty years (ever since it emerged as a reaction to the civil rights movement).” These quotations are from Drew J.
Here again I believe what isn't acknowledged is exactly how we are designed. For belonging. CN has gotten such a grip because people don't go to church because they really believe Jesus is God. They need a group and it is scarier to be rejected than to love as Jesus modeled. People need to practice being rejected and staying connected IN THE EXPERIENCE OF REJECTION.
It circles back to your other book Invisible Jesus. He's invisible because we don't practice making Him visible. CN people understand completely how to silence a room. If there's a 900 page Project 2025 document, there's a how to control using Scripture document.
