The Gospel of Paranoia: Jared Stacy on the Evangelical-to-Conspiracy Pipeline

This week on Faith and Feminism , we're digging into the fractures of the American Church with Dr. Jared Stacy, author of Reality in Ruins . We explore the "Gospel of Paranoia"—a theological and social pipeline that has turned pews into echo chambers and replaced the pursuit of truth with a obsession for "hidden" knowledge. Jared breaks down why American Evangelicalism was the perfect breeding ground for modern conspiracy theories and how these "holy" suspicions are used to protect patriarchal power structures and nationalist identities.
