About this episode
Doug Wilson's rise as a leader in the Christian nationalist movement and his controversial views on divisive issues are explored.
Doug Wilson has gone from small town preacher to a leader in America's Christian nationalist movement. Along the way he's been equally good at attracting congregants and controversy. He's never been shy about weighing in on divisive issues, but his take on slavery nearly got him chased out of town.
