## Resource

Holy war? Resource war? Either way, it's illegal. In this special bonus episode on the Outdoor Minimalist podcast, I am joined by Leigh Larson, who breaks down how and why Christian nationalism and religious extremism might be the true motivator behind the US/Israel war with Iran. Leigh studied International Relations, African Studies, and Environmental Science at The University of Texas at Austin. She also served in the US Air Force Reserve Chaplain Corps as a Chaplain Candidate during her time in seminary. Since then, she's been exploring and documenting the rise of Christina nationalism within the military and our US political system.
