#033. Running a Christian Zionism PSYOP for Israel (and regretting it) - w/Brandt Burleson

Brandt Burleson worked inside the machinery connecting evangelical churches, mega-pastors, and U.S. foreign policy to support the Israeli government. In this interview, we talk about how Christian theology is used as a geopolitical tool, how American churches were targeted, and how the experience ultimately led to Brandt’s own deconstruction and loss of faith.Want to watch the video on YouTube instead?
