Christian Nationalism in Military Chaplaincy with Leigh Larson @followtheleighder

In this episode, we explore the complex intersection of Christian Nationalism and military chaplaincy with Leigh Larson, a theologian and former USAF Reserve Chaplain Corps candidate. Leigh discusses how Christian Nationalism, often aligned with conservative evangelical theology, influences the military chaplaincy and the spiritual care available to service members. We examine the theological origins of this movement, its impact on ministry within the armed forces, and why this approach is neither truly Christian nor patriotic. As an advocate of inclusive Christianity and affirming Christianity, Leigh expands on the challenges faced by those seeking spiritual guidance in a context often shaped by exclusionary beliefs. Drawing on her Master's thesis and ongoing work, this episode also touches on modern Christian faith and the need for nuanced Bible interpretation to support a more inclusive and affirming spirituality. Tune in for a thoughtful and critical discussion relevant to PCUSA ministry, mainline Christianity and beyond.
