They'll actually start asking questions about Christian nationalism and why it looks so little like Jesus.

At one level, we also don't get it.
I mean, we're all still scratching our heads going, how do you not see?
My friend Melinda Hell, which we've had recently at our church, she's fantastic.
But she said, it's so weird.
She's like, it's like evangelical American Christians are flunking an open book test.
