RISING CHRISTIAN NATIONALISM

INTERVIEWED BY SCOTT DOUGLAS JACOBSEN,

"A FURTHER INQUIRY" ON SUBSTACK

"By December 15, 2025, we’ll mark MRFF’s twentieth anniversary as a recognized 501(c)(3). My wife and I actually started this fight in early 2004, and the spark was Mel Gibson’s film The Passion of the Christ, which opened in U.S. theaters on February 4, 2004. The “Jesus Chainsaw Massacre” or “Freddy versus Jesus.”

Subject: Thank you

Dear Mikey,

First and foremost, thank you for taking the time to immediately reach out to me after I sent my inquiry email to your staff. I also want to express my gratitude for the vital work you do every day with your organization to help and provide hope to those of us who serve in uniform.

As a mid-career officer, I’ve increasingly witnessed the darker side of the institution. An institution more focused on protecting itself than its people. When reality hit me in the face as I was persecuted for not engaging with or practicing Christianity “correctly,” I realized there was no one within the institution to turn to for help. Reaching out to your organization felt like a long shot, but within hours, we were on the phone discussing my options and the realities of my situation.

Thank you once again for your immediate and informative call.
