Brad discusses the ideas of French Jesuit priest John Daniélou, who argued that the Church is best when it builds and sustains Christendom - a Christian civilization where religion is ingrained in culture to reach the masses. He explores how these concepts explain the rise of what he terms 'Christian Trumpism'—a form of Christianity more about power and public display than individual commitment. Brad also touches on this goes against the grain of what most Protestants, especially evangelicals, are taught about a counterculture church filled with true believers - rather than a lukewarm cultural Christianity of indifferent pew-fillers.
