EP 7: The Evangelical State Movement

Welcome to another episode of The Matt Pierce Podcast, where we break down the world in plain, unfiltered language. Today, I’m diving deep into a movement that has reshaped American culture, government, and identity—American Evangelical Christianity. How did it evolve from a religious revival into a political powerhouse? How does it differ from traditional Christianity practiced worldwide? And most importantly, how has it infiltrated American politics, influencing everything from education and lawmaking to the very foundation of religious freedom?Join me as I take you through the rise of Southern Baptist-led evangelicalism, the explosive Pensacola Revival, and the movement’s grip on states like Texas—where faith has become a tool for political control.If you've ever wondered whether America is still a secular democracy or if it's slowly becoming a Christian Nationalist state, this episode will give you the real, raw, and simplified breakdown you need.Tune in now—because understanding this shift is the key to seeing what’s really happening behind the curtain.
