Charismatic Revival Fury podcast is a fair, insightful, & extremely important listen. It is well-researched & while the contributors are passionate about their views, as someone who comes from that spiritual heritage, I find them credible & fair. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/cha…

When people long to conquer a nation for God, democracy can be brought to the brink. The Violent Take It by Force maps the movement of charismatic Christians that consolidated support for Donald Trump and where it might be headed next. @taylormatthewd hubs.li/Q02M6bCH0

Great reporting here by Aaron Hedge. More attn needs to be focused on Matt Shea, 1 of the most alarming figures w/in the increasingly activated far-right Christian landscape. Yes, Shea is a local Spokane figure (as Hedge profiles), but he's growing in his national reach too.

Glad to see that my remarks at the RNS 90th Anniversary Symposium this week were written up by Baptist News Global. We live in *precedented* times! If we track how far right Christians behaved in the 2020 election, we'll be more prepared this time around. baptistnews.com/article/nar-pr…

.Kira Resistance 🚨 is one of the best online researchers out there on the New Apostolic Reformation, & she's hit a bit of a health crisis. Please consider donating to her GoFundMe if you've benefited from her extensive and conscientious work.

Great profile of Lance Wallnau written for RNS by Tess Owen. She even talked to Lance's estranged brother (I think that's a 1st). I argue in my book that Wallnau is more in touch w/ the id of evangelicalism than any other Christian leader today. religionnews.com/2024/09/13/lan…

Author and religious scholar Matthew D. Taylor was among a host of speakers at RNS's symposium on Tuesday, part of our 90th anniversary celebration. A focus of his research is the New Apostolic Reformation, a Christian nationalist subgroup. baptistnews.com/article/nar-pr…

Matthew D. Taylor would you look at that. The white Christian Nationalists have their appeal to heaven flags out to counter protest the gender liberation march.

5GW Hot Takes Matthew D. Taylor * Seriously of all of the things that seem obvious and yet still need an explanation in the Trump era — this explanation stands out. I can still hear “GOP using the language of [Dems as] demons… how do you negotiate with demons?” Those who care should listen and learn from this:

Received this in the mail yesterday. Don’t think I can get it read before my class Sunday on Christian authoritarianism and spiritual warfare, but the linked article by Matthew D. Taylor was sure helpful!

There’s a crisis of sexual abuse in American evangelical churches, and people with power and authority have failed to fix it. Thanks to Matthew D. Taylor and julie ingersoll for their expertise trib.al/W8SmpP5

Alyssa DeGraff Blatant self promotion but mostly because Matthew D. Taylor offers a goldmine of info: youtu.be/otSQ7FHxaLo?si… If you haven't listened to his multi-part series, do it. It's fantastic: icjs.org/charismatic-re…

Great reporting by elle hardy detailing how the spate of recent sexual abuse stories coming from nondenominational churches is actually a pattern paralleling what we've seen in the Southern Baptist Convention. Unaccountable pastors, apostles, & prophets are a formula for abuse.
