Doug Wilson and Pete Hegseth's Domineering Brand of "Christianity" - With Amy Hawk
Description
Join us as Pat Kahnke and Amy Hawk dive into the controversial teachings of Christian nationalist leader Doug Wilson (Moscow, Idaho), exploring his “church network” ties, his public interview with CNN, and what it really means for faith, culture & power.
In this episode we cover:
Why we’re paying closer attention to Doug Wilson — from fringe pastor to movement figure.
His representation of the “good eggs” analogy and what it signals about his worldview.
How his interview with CNN frames “clown world,” drag‑queen story hours, abortion, and America ruled by Christ.
The deeper concerns around domination, obedience, legalism, and authoritarianism in the churches Wilson leads.
A preview of our upcoming guest interview with Tia Levings (author of A Well‑Trained Life: My Journey Out of a Patriarchal Church) and what we can learn from her story.
Why it matters: This conversation isn’t just about one church or one pastor. It’s about how religious authority, cultural power, and gender dynamics play out in real life.
