The Periphery from the Pulaski Institution
Pastor Ben Marsh on Christian Nationalism and Spiritual Warfare on the Evangelical Right
Ben Marsh is a pastor at First Alliance Church Winston-Salem. He's an advocate for the maligned, lonely, afraid, and harmed. Deeply suspect of the rising linkage of Christianity and partisanship, he aims to disentangle awful social and theological ties that have created *where we are now.* He has particular interests in the areas of Christian Nationalism, sexual abuse, and mental healthcare. You may have seen him on CNN (2024, 2021), Al-Jazeera, World Relief, or other news outlets. Previously he worked in DC as a human rights advocate for Dalits.
Ben and I talk about Christian nationalism, the rise of the New Apostolic Reformation, the differences between some of these groups, and, most importantly, how he thinks people can heal. It's a great conversation.
You can find him on his Substack "It's Me Ben Marsh" and Bluesky with the handle itsmebenmarsh.
