348. TNE TALKS: Understanding The Rise of Christian Nationalism w/ Matt Taylor

In this In-Studio TALKS Episode, Tim engages in a deep conversation with Dr. Matthew Taylor, a scholar of Christian nationalism. They explore the implications of Christian nationalism in the context of the 2024 election, the nature of populism, and the dangers posed by populist authoritarianism. Dr. Taylor shares insights on the role of evangelicalism in supporting Trump and the potential threats to democracy posed by a second Trump administration. The discussion also touches on the historical parallels with authoritarian regimes and the importance of understanding the dynamics of leadership within the Christian nationalist movement.
