UPDATE (March 13). The CNN special with Doug Wilson will now air March 22.
Originally scheduled to run on Feb. 22, CNN will air the The Whole Story with Anderson Cooper episode “The Rise of Christian Nationalism” on March 8. It places a sharp focus on Moscow, Idaho, and Pastor Douglas Wilson.
The episode’s originally air date was preempted due to breaking news coverage on the East Coast winter storm.
Reported by Pamela Brown, the hour-long investigation examines how Moscow has become a focal point in the national conversation about Christian nationalism. Brown’s reporting began with an earlier visit to interview Wilson. She showed how he rose to prominence by co-founding a church network and by promoting a theologically-conservative vision of society rooted in a literal interpretation of the Bible to educational institutions.
That initial report drew significant national attention and set the stage for this deeper exploration.
In the new special, Brown embeds within Wilson’s broader religious community, examining how its teachings influence family structure, gender roles, schooling and civic engagement locally and beyond. The program also features critics and former church members who describe experiences of spiritual pressure, rigid patriarchy and alleged harm within Christian nationalist environments.
The episode will include expert analysis on how ideas once considered fringe have gained political visibility and organizational strength.
The episode will air Sunday at 5 p.m. on CNN TV. It will also be available on multiple platforms (YouTube, CNN+, CNN’s social media channels).

No true Christian Pastor needs to be a cheerleader to promote Christian Nationalism! Unbiblical!
That in itself can become a separate religion! It can become an Idol!
We are to follow Jesus Christ of the Bible only.
He appoints our leaders, and if our leaders are going against the teachings of the scriptures, God’s Word, then we as Christians must be a light shinning in this dark and demonic world. Stand up against evil.
We are to call out what is evil and what goes against God.
For example, eliminating God, Prayers, Pledge of allegiance, abortion, forced experimental shots, and anything tyrannical. We must pass bills that hold people accountable and fight for that, or there will be no weight to enforce that bill.
We must be for obeying the laws of the land, and if they are incomplete, or need tweaking then get envolved to get someone to get it done or do it yourself if God calls you!
The most important message to bring to the people globally is where are you going to spend “eternity” when you die? All people, regardless of what you have been taught or believe will spend eternity in heaven or hell. Purgatory is NOT in the Holy Bible.
Our Biblical God Jesus, Son of our Triune God, was sent by Father God, to be incarnated into the womb of a virgin sinner girl, named Mary. She was only the host chosen by God to birth Jesus.
God’s plan, not man’s, needed Jesus to be born pure without any blemish and without any sin, even though Mary was born a sinner like the rest of us mortal humans, God chose her & Joseph because they both came from the lineage of King David and are descendants of King David’s royal line.
In which fulfills God’s prophecies regarding our Messiah, Jesus Christ future King of the World. Descendants are recorded in the New Testament of the Book of Matthew.
God sent Jesus to begin his ministry on earth for 33 years 100% God & Man. He knew He was chosen to be the sacrificial lamb by taking all sins upon himself of every human who was born upon himself, being a host to all our sins.
He became the payment sacrifice for it all! A payment that God required for that sin the devil allowed to enter this world in Genesis chapter 3.
Jesus took all the punishment upon Him, the whippings with sharp hooks pealing off His flesh, they pierced through His wrists with 7 inch nails and feet. He suffered greatly this torment for all humanity! Yet, people hate him and curse His name.
He did this out of love for all of humanity!
That we all would accept His Free Gift of redemption! He Paid it All on that Cross!
Before He died, He said “it is Finished! “
No more sacrifices would be needed for atonement! No religions needed, Only Jesus Christ! God’s plan!
Jesus said; “I AM the Way, the Truth, and the Light, and no one comes to the Father except through ME!”
After 3 Days, He rose again and 500 recorded witnesses say Him walking around and he ate fish with His disciples. Then He was taken up on a cloud up to Heaven, and seated on the right hand of the Father God.
Jesus defeated death, He lives today and no longer on the cross! So because He offers His free gift to us for eternal life after we die, we must be so humbly grateful for what he did for us, and change our minds to be sorrowful we sinned against Him.
To be redeemed by Him, we cry out to Him and beg Jesus to forgive us of our transgressions against Him, and ask Him to be the Lord over our lives so we too can be saved by His wrath to come upon those who hat Him and reject His free gift of life everlasting!
This is the merciful living God we serve from the Bible only 66 canonized books, nothing else or it’s a curse!
He made it easy so children can come to Him at 2 & 3 years old! He did it all on the cross, so we cannot boast we had anything to do with our own salvation!
We are mortal humans and can never become a god, only by pretending which is called idolatry! A sin!
False leaders Do Not Want You to Know the Bible! Just like Martin Luther, who studied it, it set Him Free to know it and obey God, not man.
Once you cry out with a genuine cry to God to be redeemed by Him only, no one else, you must place all trust for yourselves upon Jesus.
Be truly repentant of your sins against Him, You will know it, He gives new hearts to those who fully surrender themselves to Him, he gives you the Holy Spirit to live in your new heart, a new spiritual birth! Being Born again!
You will immediately have new desires for Jesus to serve him.
Warning: It is not an emotion, a feeling or experience! Those come from the devil.
It is knowing in your soul you will be taken care of forever, and can never lose it!
Once you receive God, the Holy Spirit living in you, you are truly redeemed by Christ and He will Never forsake you or leave you!
Pray to him daily, and begin reading His True Word, penned by 40 different Authors in a period of 1500 years.
God chose those Authors to pen the true words of God, so it never contradicts and Never changes. God is perfect, we are not, but by Jesus blood He sees us as perfect and our sins are forgiven.
Then we begin immediately to learn the gospel his birth, death, ressurection so we can share His good news of eternal life with others!
That is our purpose! That is our Command from our Lord & Savior Jesus.
Not Nationalism! Where is that in the Bible?
It is Not there! Beware of wolves in sheep’s clothing trying to destroy you!
Know the New Testament first!
Then read the old Testament.
Read daily, learn scripture keep a journal. I love the John MacArthur NASB, NKJV, Legacy Standard Study Bibles! Very easy to read understand with commentary explaining scriptures.
Christians better get bold proclaiming Christ now before heavy persecution comes! So you will endure till the end! God Bless!
