Christian nationalism is a term that’s being used more and more in news media. But what exactly does it mean, and is this movement actually even Christian? In 2020, Pastor Caleb Campbell watched Christian nationalism take over large swaths of his congregation in Phoenix, Arizona. He thought about giving up on the church, but over the years, he came to see himself as a missionary to Christian nationalists.
Caleb shares his compelling journey from skinhead to pastor, and from accusations of demonic influence to restored relationships. You’ll also hear Rev. Dr. Gabriel Salguero describe what happened when a man in camouflage came into a recent board meeting of Latino evangelical leaders.
Conflicts, like these, can be fraught with anxiety, anger and fear. But Dr. Sheila Heen, deputy director of the Harvard Negotiation Project, says that with the right framework, we can handle the most heated exchanges. Her expertise paired with the gripping narratives from Caleb and Gabriel will inspire anyone who seeks to be the kind of peacemaker that Jesus called blessed.
