White Christian nationalism continues to shape the theological framework behind much of MAGA’s policy agenda: JD Vance’s false claims that the bible tells us to look out for ourselves before others. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, who now calls himself ‘Secretary of War,’ has weaponized Christianity to justify war in Iran, and frames service members’ military duties as part of a “crusade moment”.
White Christian nationalism creates theological justification for xenophobic, homophobic, and misogynistic laws and attitudes. It is also powering the genocide in Gaza, war in Iran, the climate crisis, and racist ideologies like the Great Replacement Theory.
White Christian nationalism is deadly – and we’re proud to be growing our faith work to organize Christians to fight back.
Luke 10 Congregations is a 9-month-long program to train congregations to fight Christian nationalism and show up for justice. As a part of a national cohort, congregations will study together to deepen their understanding of Christian nationalism’s relationship to poverty and racism, and then develop plans for how to faithfully respond in their own communities. The second Luke 10 Congregations cohort concludes soon, and the deadline to apply for the third cohort is June 1, 2026.
We are hosting two upcoming information sessions for those interested in the third Luke 10 cohort: Wednesday, April 15 at 12pm ET and Tuesday, April 28 at 7pm ET. Will you join us to learn more about Luke 10 Congregations?

Christian teachings have been co-opted to serve regimes of domination for thousands of years. But there have also always been those who work to enact Jesus’ vision of justice and mercy.
Apply now to be a Luke 10 Congregation – or share this with friends – to do this work in our time.
In solidarity,
