Pastor Doug Wilson’s mission goes far beyond the pulpit. With a growing network of over 150 churches worldwide and a new base just blocks from the U.S. Capitol, he’s advancing a vision for America — and eventually the world — governed by his brand of Christian theology. In this episode, Mike examines Wilson’s rise, his open call to repeal women’s right to vote, and his belief that all societies should be theocratic.
It’s a 250-year plan to reshape culture, law, and politics. Whether you’re an atheist, a Christian who values pluralism, or someone concerned about democratic freedoms, you’ll want to hear this breakdown.
