Fighting fascism: what doesn't work

Radical Soul

This is part two of a three part series on combating Christian Nationalism. The entire conversation was livestreamed on Wednesday, November 6, the day after the election. If you haven’t heard it yet, part one covered what Christian nationalism is and who Christian nationalists are. A reminder that, when it comes to its impact, Christian nationalism is the same as White supremacy. It’s fascist power under a different name.

So in this episode, we talk about what doesn’t work in fighting Christian nationalism, which is also what doesn’t work in fighting white supremacy. Stay tuned for part three, which covers what seasoned activists believe does work and what we should be leaning into right now.

My guests for the talk were Blake Chastain, host of the Exvangelical podcast and author of the new book Exvangelical and Beyond: How American Christianity Went Radical and the Movement That’s Fighting Back, lenny duncan, an ordained Lutheran priest and author of Dear Revolutionaries: A Field Guide for a World Beyond the Church, and Redeem Robinson, an ordained minister within the fellowship of the department ministries, and a longtime civil rights activist.
