from Make It Make Sense with Grant Hermes · host Grant Hermes

In the conversation about the US bombing Iran, there has been a lot of talk about the mission, the policy behind it, and how well it worked. But one of the main driving reasons Trump chose to approve the mission hasn't been talked about: the religious extremism inside his administration. Grant talks with Matt D. Taylor, the senior Christian scholar and the Institute of Islamic, Christian, and Jewish Studies about the influence of Christian Zionism, Christian Dominion, and Christian nationalism on Trump and it's getting more extreme.LINKS:Institute for Islamic, Christian and Jewish Studies Center for Peace Diplomacy The Violent Take It By Force Support the showFollow along on social media SaySo: @GrantHermes X: @GrantHermesInsta: @Grant__HermesTiktok: Grant_Hermes
