In this episode, we dig into a chilling speech from right-wing influencer Benny Johnson at the recent Charlie Kirk rally—a moment that reveals just how deeply Christian nationalism can distort Scripture to serve political power.
Johnson quotes Romans 13 “accurately”—but uses it to glorify authoritarianism, justify state violence, and push a dark vision of “Christendom” that’s more about domination than discipleship.
We’ll explore how this rhetoric weaponizes the Bible to justify injustice, how figures like Johnson and Stephen Miller are shaping a nationalist faith, and why Christendom isn’t about Jesus—it’s about empire.
