00:00 America and Christianity are like baseball and apple pie, and we celebrate them together.
00:07 I was 16, 17 years old when I became a Christian.
00:12 I'm an evangelical minister.
00:14 I've been a Christian my whole life.
00:16 I'm a Christian nationalist. I have nothing to be ashamed of, because that's what most Americans are.
00:24 Is Christian nationalism Christian?
00:27 Um, no, it isn't.
00:30 We should be blazing forth as a countercultural example, and instead, we're leading the charge of malice and division.
00:38 Christian nationalism uses Christianity as a means to an end.
00:43 That end being some form of authoritarianism.
00:47 Being a Christian is about the values of inclusion.
00:53 Christian nationalism is certainly not based on the values of the gospel.
00:57 God wants America to be saved.
01:01 They're told over and over and over again that you're in danger.
01:05 You need to fight if you don't want to lose your country.
01:08 We are in a civil war between good and evil.
01:11 This is not a movement about Christian values. This is about Christian power.
01:14 What happens to the people who don't believe this stuff?
01:17 It was a traitor!
01:21 We are on the precipice.
01:23 God is on our side!
01:25 We're taking our nation back!
01:27 The thing that keeps me up at night is that we lose democracy.
01:30 Does that seem possible?
01:31 Yes.
01:32 Christianity at its best is committed to love and truth and justice.
01:43 If we do this right, what a country we will be.
