Hiding in Plain Sight: The Christian Nationalism that Fueled January 6th | The Tim & April Show

We can't let them whitewash history.

Tim Whitaker is the founder of The New Evangelicals, and April Ajoy is the author of Star Spangled Jesus: Leaving Christian Nationalism And Finding True Faith.


Today marks a somber anniversary, as American reflects on the fifth anniversary of the Jan. 6, 2021 attacks at the Capitol. Trump supporters violently disrupted the peaceful transfer of power, as he desperately tried to hold onto the powers of the presidency, despite losing the 2020 election. And while many remember that day filled with a wave of red MAGA hats and Trump flags, chants of “hang Mike Pence,” and a man running around with a buffalo hat dubbing himself the QAnon Shaman, others have been uncovering the uncomfortable truth.

Join Tim & April as they speak with Matthew Taylor, author of, The Violent Take It By Force: The Christian Movement That Is Threatening Our Democracy. Matthew dissects the fringes of Christian Nationalism that are becoming mainstream and helped influence an insurrection that will live in infamy.

Tune in to the full episode of The Tim and April Show, now!
