SUMMARY:Revival Reimagined
DESCRIPTION:Patterned after the Great Awakening Revivals in America\, North Carolina has the unique opportunity to stoke religious fervor throughout the State and the nation. Radical evangelicalism is on its last leg in terms of popularity. The goal is to ensure that this fervor is not capitalized on and used for the benefit of Christian Nationalists. They are seeking to use religion to serve the needs of a minority group in North Carolina that largely represents the ideals of the past. \nWe believe that there is a brand of faith that supports the multiracial working class\, supports the obliteration of poverty\, supports reproductive justice\, and affirms people who exist in queer communities. \nClick here to register.

SUMMARY:BAD FAITH: Screening & Panel Discussion in Durham
DESCRIPTION:Christian Nationalist leaders have been spreading fear and anger for decades\, distorting political issues into Biblical battles between good and evil. Financed by a “shadow network” of extremists who have spent billions of dollars to dismantle democracy from within\, Christian Nationalism has never been about Christianity. It has always been about raw political power. \nIf you’ve ever wondered where this extremism carried out in God’s name came from\, BAD FAITH: Christian Nationalism’s Unholy War on Democracy\, has receipts. It tells two stories: the origin and aims of highly organized\, well-funded grasp for power\, and how a grassroots coalition of secular and interfaith leaders is bravely confronting the unholy forces threatening democracy. \nBAD FAITH is a must-watch documentary for those who want to learn the history behind the rise of Christian Nationalism in the United States\, and the dire implications it could have if they succeed in their goals. \nThe BAD FAITH screening will be bookended by the music of Carolina Justice League\, and a panel discussion with Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove\, Joey Shelton\, and J. Renee Sterrett.  \nClick here to register.

SUMMARY:The Theology of Christian Nationalism
DESCRIPTION:Join us and First Baptist Church of Asheville for an insightful discussion led by Executive Director Jennifer Copeland as we explore the landscape of Christian Nationalism in today’s society. Participants will learn what Christian Nationalism is and its evolution over the past decade. Learn about the concepts of Dominionism and the 7 Mountains Mandate\, uncovering how these theological frameworks underpin movements like Project 2025. We’ll also examine how these ideas contribute to extremism\, often without the awareness of those who follow them. The session will conclude with a Q&A\, followed by practical steps to take to respond to these challenges and promote a more just and inclusive society.
