John Collins and John McKinnon examine the intricate connections between Christian identity, early Christian fundamentalism, and politics, tracing the roots of the New Apostolic Reformation. They explore the significant events that laid the foundation for this movement, focusing on figures such as Roy Davis, who had a controversial past and connections with the Ku Klux Klan, and how these connections influenced the development of various religious and political movements.

A key point of the discussion is the role of Davis in California during the 1940s and his efforts to blend religion and politics to form a new wave of the Ku Klux Klan. The hosts highlight the involvement of other significant figures like Gerald L.K. Smith and Wesley Swift, who contributed to the fusion of Christian identity with politics. The episode also uncovers how these early connections and strategies laid the groundwork for later movements, including the Latter Rain, Charismatic, and New Apostolic Reformation, emphasizing the long-lasting impact of these early alliances on contemporary religious and political landscapes.
