As someone who grew up in a fundamental Christian cult (Gothard's IBLP of Shiny Happy People), Christy understands the fear and mindset behind Christian Nationalism firsthand. As a teen, she believed that if we could control other people's morality by law, that they would be happier and closer to God. She was taught that America was created as a Christian nation and that it was important to God that it stay that way.
People with similar views are part of the Christian Nationalist movement that we see currently. But that's not all. Christy suggests that a Christian dominionist view supported by the Seven Mountain Mandate popular in NAR churches is colliding with the fundamentalist view to fuel the rapid rise in ideology that we are seeing today.
Christy shares strong doubts about whether either view is accurate or biblical. She points to the example of Jesus who declared that His kingdom was not of this world.
