Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth<\/strong> reposted, with an endorsement, a video of pastors associated with his church saying that women shouldn\u2019t vote, sodomy should be illegal again across the nation, and that each town, each state, the nation, and the world ought to be Christian.<\/p>\n \u201cAll of Christ for All of Life<\/a>,\u201d Hegseth wrote on X.<\/p>\n The CNN interview<\/a> features Doug Wilson<\/strong>, a self-described \u201cChristian Nationalist\u201d and senior pastor of Christ Church in Idaho, and other leaders describing their view of what America should look like. The church just opened a location in DC, which held its inaugural service in a building owned by the Conservative Partnership Institute, a think tank co-led by President Donald Trump<\/strong>\u2019s former chief of staff Mark Meadows<\/strong>, according<\/a> to CNN.<\/p>\n Christianity Today reports<\/a> that, during a service several weeks ago, \u201cChildren in the pews whispered excitedly when Hegseth entered, and the defense secretary was mobbed by supporters as he left the church.\u201d The defense secretary, who is a parishioner, has previously praised Wilson, saying that the current generation is \u201cstanding on the shoulders\u201d of leaders like him.<\/p>\n In the CNN interview, reporter Pamala Brown<\/strong> asked Wilson, \u201cIs planting a church in DC part of your plan to turn this into a Christian nation?\u201d \u201cYes,\u201d he replied, noting earlier in the interview, \u201cI\u2019d like to see the town be a Christian town. I\u2019d like to see the state be a Christian state. I\u2019d like to see the nation be a Christian nation. I\u2019d like to see the world be a Christian world.\u201d<\/p>\n This content can also be viewed on the site it originates<\/a> from.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Brown asked Wilson a series of questions about his views on women in the church and public life. Wilson calls<\/a> himself \u201cpatriarchal,\u201d celebrated<\/a> the Dobbs<\/em> decision as a gift from God and Trump, has said voting should come from households, which men should typically run, and that women shouldn\u2019t hold any positions of power in the church that \u201cinvolve exercising authority over men.\u201d Wilson, a veteran himself, believes that women shouldn\u2019t be in military combat. Secretary Hegseth has also said<\/a> he\u2019s against women in combat roles.<\/p>\n \u201cWomen,\u201d Wilson began in the CNN interview, \u201care the kind of people that people come out of.\u201d \u201cSo,\u201d Brown asked back, \u201cyou just think they\u2019re meant to have babies?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cIt doesn\u2019t take any talent to simply reproduce biologically,\u201d Wilson replied. \u201cThe wife and mother, who is the chief executive of the home, is entrusted with three or four of five eternal souls.\u201d Brown then says that she is a working journalist and a mother of three. \u201cGood for you,\u201d he said. \u201cIs that an issue for you?\u201d she asked. \u201cNo, it\u2019s not automatically an issue,\u201d he replied.<\/p>\n<\/div>\nX content<\/h4>\n
