This conversation is personal for me.
Matthew Boedy has written one of the clearest histories I’ve read of the movement that grew from the Religious Right into today’s Christian nationalism. My own family appears throughout that story because my father, Francis Schaeffer, helped shape an earlier generation of evangelical political thought.
We talk about where those ideas began, how they changed over time, and why influence gave way to the pursuit of political power. We also discuss Charlie Kirk, Turning Point USA, Project 2025, education, media, masculinity, and the growing alliance between Christian nationalism and powerful technology interests.
Whether you agree or disagree, understanding this history is essential if we’re going to understand where American politics finds itself today.
