Insights from Chapter 1

#1

I am headed to the fellowship hall of the Unionville Baptist Church in South Carolina, where I will meet with pastors from around the country to discuss their views on social justice and the Bible.

#2

The Watchmen on the Wall, an affiliate of the Family Research Council, is hosting a pastors briefing in Unionville. Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council, addresses the audience, telling them that they must vote.

#3

The FRC provides pastors with Culture Impact Teams, which are central to their campaign to turn out the vote for conservative and Republican candidates.

#4

The Bible, according to the CIT manual, is clear about the answers to the political issues Americans face in the twenty-first century. It opposes public assistance to the poor, unless the money passes through church coffers. It also opposes environmentalism, and supports gun regulations and privatization of schools.

#5

Mark Harris, the pastor who is running for Congress in North Carolina, speaks about how abortion is the greatest destroyer of love and peace.

#6

North Carolina has been affected the most by the reduction of Medicaid funding. The state is controlled by a conservative faction that has enacted laws that restrict access to reproductive care, expand the ability of taxpayer-subsidized organizations to discriminate on the basis of religion, and strip public education funding.

#7

Right-wing pastor Mark Harris doubles down on his extreme social conservatism in Unionville. He and his fellow pastor-politicians offer a pathway to involvement for their followers, a way to channel their resentments and anxieties into personal salvation and political power.

#8

The Truth About Hell, The Truth About Abortion, and The Truth About Mormonism are just a few of the many tracts available for free at the FRC.

#9

Boykin, a legendary figure at these events, spoke about how President Bill Clinton authorized the raid that killed his teammates. He also spoke about how communism still remains the greatest threat to America today.

#10

Boykin has always been close to the American military, having served at the Central Intelligence Agency as deputy director of special activities and was made deputy director for operations, readiness, and mobilization on the army staff.

#11

Some of the most dynamic presenters at the Unionville event are pastors and political activists who recount how they turned states red by traveling from church to church and encouraging voters to come out and vote for Trump.

#12

The Values Bus tour is led by Ken Ham, a Christian scientist who believes that the number one thing one can do for others is give them the supreme Christ. The second greatest thing, he says, is to give them the Supreme Court.

#13

Many people who identify as Christians in North Carolina live very different lives than the paranoid visions of the Pastors Briefing. They’re uplifted by the Bible, but also very open to interpretation and exploitation.

#14

Progressive Christian voices have only been able to grab headlines, but they do not know how to seize political power. The leaders of the Unionville Pastors Briefing do.

#15

The idea that the government is stomping on the rights of Christians is a powerful message that helps drive voters to the polls.
Insights from Chapter 2

#1

The game of power is twofold: you reach out to voters and tell them what they want to hear in order to get them to vote for you, but you also go inside and meet with the powerful individuals who make decisions.

#2

Tulare is the home of the World Ag Expo, an annual agricultural exposition that brings together hundreds of businesses supporting the food-growing sector. Capitol Ministries has received donations from affluent agribusiness owners and executives.

#3

Steve Taylor, a member of the board of directors of the Family Policy Alliance, is also on the board of directors of Capitol Ministries. The two entities pursue largely similar agendas in many areas.

#4

Drollinger’s theology is hard-line within evangelical Christianity, but if you read his work side by side with what’s in MacArthur’s books, you’ll see that he got it from MacArthur.

#5

Drollinger was a Christian sports minister who wanted to raise his sights from the playing fields to the state legislature. He became controversial when he began evangelizing state legislators.

#6

Capitol Ministries and other Christian groups supported Trump, who had the least claim of any public figure to those Christian virtues. While many Americans believed that the Christian right was primarily concerned with values, leaders of the movement knew it was really about power.
