## Resource

I was so happy to welcome Rev. Angela Denker of I'm Listening to Dispatches From A Collapsing State . Here, Denker, author of Disciples of White Jesus , and I discuss the recent turn towards Christian Nationalism by the Far Right, as well as the general heresy being used to destroy democracy, oppress women and minorities, and fuel the ongoing rise of fascism. I always enjoy our conversations and I think this one of those must-listens in the face of what has both been happening and the future threat that is beginning to coalesce. As we discuss, you don’t have to be interested in religion for this stuff to matter to you. It’s best to understand what we’re up against.
