Iran, Christian Nationalism, and Holy War: Fissures in Christian MAGAism (Live Recording) (Reign of Error podcast with Sarah Posner)
Brad Onishi hosts a live event panel with Sarah Posner, Dr. Julie Ingersoll, and Dr. Matthew D. Taylor on the religious dimensions of the Iran conflict and its effects on Christian nationalism and MAGA. Posner explains how influential Christian Zionists have long sought U.S. confrontation with Iran, tying it to end-times prophecy, unconditional support for Netanyahu, and Republican foreign policy influence through figures like John Hagee, Paula White, and ambassador Mike Huckabee. Ingersoll contrasts this with postmillennial Christian Reconstructionism linked to Doug Wilson and Pete Hegseth, noting no special theological role for Israel and emerging internal fissures over the war. Taylor describes Iran as a Shiite religious nationalist state and argues religious extremism on both sides amplifies escalation, highlighting NAR “spiritual warfare” against the “Prince of Persia.”
As the discussion unfolds, the panel explores fractures within the religious right, including tensions between evangelicals and far-right Catholics, generational divides among Reconstructionists, and the uncertain political future of figures like J.D. Vance. With attention to media ecosystems, ideological alliances, and the role of key influencers, the episode situates the Iran conflict within a broader struggle over power, identity, and the future of American politics. The result is a nuanced portrait of a movement that is far from monolithic—and whose internal contradictions may prove as consequential as its external ambitions.

Weekly Roundup: Pentagon Pulpit, Silenced Christians: Doug Wilson, James Talarico & the Battle for the American Soul (Bradley Onishi and Daniel Miller; Straight White American Jesus podcast)
Doug Wilson's appearance at a Pentagon prayer service hosted by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is more than a symbolic moment—it's a window into the kind of Christianity being elevated at the highest levels of American power. Wilson, a self-identified Christian nationalist and longtime pastor in Moscow, Idaho, has built an influential religious and media network rooted in a theology that centers male authority, rejects pluralism in the public square, and frames "Christ is King" as a political claim over the nation itself. His record—documented by journalists like Brian Kaylor and Sarah Stankorb—includes defending rigid patriarchal structures, opposing women's suffrage, limiting public religious freedom to conservative Protestantism, and mishandling abuse cases within his orbit. That this theology is now platformed inside the Pentagon, amid ongoing fallout from the Epstein scandal and broader debates about power, sexuality, and accountability, raises urgent questions about what kind of moral vision is being fused with state authority—and who it protects.
At the same time, CBS's decision not to air Stephen Colbert's interview with Texas State Representative James Talarico—an outspoken Christian critic of Christian nationalism—reveals the other side of the equation. Talarico, a seminary student and public school teacher, argues that separating church and state protects both democracy and the integrity of Christian faith. His warning that Christian nationalism is "a cancer on my religion" stands in sharp contrast to Wilson's vision of public Christianity. The juxtaposition is stark: a hardline theocrat welcomed at the Pentagon, and a soft-spoken Christian democrat sidelined from broadcast television. Together, these events underscore a growing dynamic in American public life—where the state appears increasingly willing to privilege one brand of religion while marginalizing dissenting voices, even within Christianity itself.

DOJ charges man shot by Border Patrol agents in Portland with aggravated assault - POLITICO
Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) accused President Donald Trump of "clearly inflaming violence" by deploying federal immigration agents to the city, and Portland Mayor Keith Wilson called on the federal government to halt immigration enforcement operations in the city until more details about the shooting came clear.
"We know what the federal government says happened here. There was a time when we could take them at their word. That time has long passed," Wilson said at a Thursday evening press conference…

The Proud Scientific Ignorance of a Christian Nationalist (Gutsick Gibbon)
Evolution and some geologic history explained while she counters silly creationism / intelligent design arguments from Doug Wilson and the Answers in Genesis / Ken Ham people.
An important point she makes is that Doug Wilson and his followers not only hold these unscientific beliefs, but that they are actively engaged in building up networks of schools that will indoctrinate children with these beliefs instead of real science.
