Christian Nationalist Legislator Dusty Deevers Says Elected Officials Must 'Kiss The Son Or Face The Beating'

04/02/2026

There are few elected officials in office today who can match Oklahoma state Sen. Dusty Deevers in their zeal to see the United States turned into an all-encompassing Christian nationalist theocracy.

Deevers, who just announced that he is running for reelection, is a far-rightpastor and unabashed Christian nationalist who wants to abolish abortion, ban no-fault divorce, outlaw pornography, and literally see this nation taken back to the 1600s, As such, Deevers has made no secret of his belief that the fundamental purpose of government is to convert people to Jesus Christ.

In fact, this was the central message of a speech entitled "God's Mandate to Government Leaders" that he delivered earlier this year at the "Make Disciples" National Founders Conference, organized by Founders Ministries.

"The chief end of every government is to glorify God and to protect its people's God-given right to glorify and enjoy Him forever," Deevers declared. "I'll say it again: The chief end of every government is to glorify God and to protect its people's God-given right to glorify and enjoy Him forever."

"My aim is twofold," Deevers continued. "Number one, to confront you with the absolute lordship of Jesus Christ, to awaken holy fear of treason against Christ, and equip legislators to govern as His servants so that your laws and priorities and public witness protect the citizen's right to know and enjoy God forever. Second, to call upon the church of Jesus Christ to declare to and warn their legislators of the sovereign authority of Christ to order His world by His word."

"Government and her magistrates are never neutral," he said. "They always orient citizens toward a god. So will you direct them to the living Christ or to idols and then face the Living Judge for your attempted insurrection against His throne? Legislators, hear this warning. God will not be mocked. You are not sovereign. You will give an account before King Jesus. If you belittle Christ in the halls of power and blaspheme Him by not ascribing to Him glory and authority over the governments that rest upon His shoulders, the scepter you grasp will become the rod that breaks you. Kiss the Son or face the beating. You must choose your allegiance."

Deevers is a co-author of The Statement on Christian Nationalism and the Gospel, which calls for U.S. law to “formally acknowledge the Lordship of Christ” and insists on “national recognition of essential Christian Orthodoxy.” Other contributors include former Trump official William Wolfe and extremist “theobro” Joel Webbon.

In the years before he was murdered, Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk had transitioned the group away from its libertarian leanings and toward a dominionist Christian nationalist ideology and agenda. It appears that the group’s current leadership is continuing that shift.

TPUSA Faith, the group’s religious organizing arm, is hosting a “pastor roundtable” featuring two Christian nationalists, Oklahoma state Sen. Dusty Deevers and author and former Trump administration official William Wolfe, according to a flyer Deevers posted on his X account Wednesday. Both men have connections to extreme Christian nationalist Doug Wilson, who has been in the news recently, both for his claim that women should not have the right to vote and for his efforts to strengthen his influence within the Trump administration.

Right Wing Watch noted recently, “Few elected officials can match Oklahoma state Sen. Dusty Deevers in their desire to see the United States turned into a Christian nationalist theocracy.” Deevers calls the separation of church and state “blasphemous.” In a sermon at Wilson’s Idaho church last year, Deevers declared that it is the duty of civil leaders to “submit” to the authority of Christ. He has called on Christian men to “make offensive war on the gates of hell” and “dominionize” the world.

Wolfe is an ardent Christian nationalist who declared in 2023 that "we are getting close" to a point where Christians will have to "heed the call to arms." Wolfe has charged that Democrats are Marxists and “violent revolutionaries” and claimed that “the Democrats hate God, they hate family, they hate marriage, they hate children, they hate our nation." At the far-right National Conservatism conference this year, he called for a “Protestant Christian Political Manhattan Project.”

Wolfe was a visiting fellow at OMB Director Russ Vought’s Center for Renewing America, which identified Christian nationalism as a priority for the Trump administration. Early in Trump’s second term, he celebrated that the administration was being filled with “people who are our guys.” After meeting with Trump in March, Wolfe declared, “This is our land and we've had it really sort of violently taken away from us by radical leftists who are fundamentally steeped in a Marxist worldview that is anti-God, anti-human, anti-family, all those things.” He has been a cheerleader for the Trump regime’s mass deportation agenda.

Deevers and Wolfe, along with theobro Joel Webbon, were among the drafters of a 2023 document called The Statement on Christian Nationalism and the Gospel. It declared that the United States must formally “acknowledge the Lordship of Christ” in all its laws, “abolish abortion,” outlaw marriage equality, and “recapture our national sovereignty from godless, global entities who present a grave threat to civilization.” The statement affirms that “the Christian Nationalist project entails a national recognition of essential Christian orthodoxy” and supports laws against “public blasphemy.”

The TPUSA roundtable is being co-sponsored by the Center for Baptist Leadership and its parent organization American Reformer. The Center for Baptist Leadership, founded by Wolfe, thinks the Southern Baptist Convention is too liberal. The American Reformer is a group backed by venture capitalists that wants to bring the U.S. back into alignment with what they see as its explicitly Protestant Christian heritage. It’s connected to networks of theobros associated in various ways with Wilson; its advisory board is rich with people connected to the hard-right Claremont Institute.

Given that view, it was no surprise to hear Deevers declare on a recent episode of the "Finding Your Spine" podcast that the separation of church and state is "blasphemous" and that to support it is to "belittle the Lord Jesus."

"[Jesus] has commissioned us to go and make disciples and baptize them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit," Deevers said. "And that means that we are his human agents for extending his dominion, his rule throughout this world, and the nations will be glad through that. So to say that the church and the state are separate in the principle of their authority—and the principle being Jesus Christ—is, I believe, it's blasphemous to say that Jesus Christ isn't Lord of Lords and King of Kings. And that means not just over the home, not just over the church, but in every sphere; and that is to belittle the Lord Jesus and he doesn't take it kindly when we belittle him."

In 2023, Deevers joined radical Christian nationalists Joel Webbon, William Wolfe, and others in drafting a document called “The Statement on Christian Nationalism and the Gospel,” which declared that the United States must formally “acknowledge the Lordship of Christ” in all its laws, “abolish abortion,” outlaw marriage equality, and “recapture our national sovereignty from godless, global entities who present a grave threat to civilization.”

In late 2024, Deevers preached at Christ Church in Moscow, Idaho, which is run by far-right Christian nationalist pastor Douglas Wilson.

AN 2 25

Irate parents taught an Oklahoma lawmaker a life lesson I bet he’ll never forget: Do not mess with the education of public school children who have been diagnosed with a disability.

Republican Dusty Deevers emerged last week from the dustup with parents, educators and therapists with a metaphorical black eye, reminding him that Oklahomans don’t like schoolyard bullies.

In case you missed all the hubbub, somehow Deevers got the idiotic idea that too many Oklahoma children are receiving special education services through the federal Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, or IDEA. That’s the federal law that protects children’s right to a “free appropriate public education” and guarantees that they have access to special education and early intervention services.

He pointed to estimates indicating that as many as 1 in 6 Oklahoma school children are currently on Individualized Education Programs, better known as an IEP, which provides them access to services such as speech, language, physical, occupational and behavioral therapies to help them succeed in school.

Generally, legislators have tacitly acknowledged that these programs help students succeed academically even though state and federal leaders have long provided only a fraction of the funding necessary to operate them at their maximum potential.

But rather than urging his colleagues to ramp up funding and bolster support for those children, the lawmaker from Elgin hatched a harebrained plan to reduce participation numbers by removing eligibility for in-school services. The proposed law would have required parents to seek services on their own dime after school hours. If parents couldn’t afford it or find qualified therapists, too bad, so sad.

The plan also would have prohibited Medicaid from helping to pay for those in-school services as well as covering the costs of sight screenings.

At first the proposal flew under the radar, obscured among nearly 3,100 bills filed for consideration for the 2025 legislative session, but then the ramifications of Deevers’ plan began to dawn on folks and outrage exploded on social media.

Deevers swiftly discovered that there might be one thing almost as scary as incurring the wrath of God — Oklahomans furious that legislators are impeding on their “parental rights.” (You know, that popular buzzword that Republicans like to bandy about.)

Deevers tried to clean up the mess by promising to amend the bill because he said it wasn’t doing what he intended. However, he dumped gasoline on the raging Dumpster fire thanks to a lengthy post on X that revealed that he believes we might have “far over-diagnosed students;” that he wants to audit IEP spending; protect “parental rights;” force schools to stop providing students on IEPs “hormonal birth control;” and exclude “non-educationally necessary services.”

That unleashed a second torrent of anger because any parent who has a child on an IEP knows that schools are not willy-nilly thinking up ways to place children into services they don’t need. And that anybody who has set foot in a school knows how rare it is to hear parents complain that a school is doing too much and overperforming.

It’s much more common to hear they’re not doing enough.

They know that to get a child evaluated for a disability takes a considerable amount of advocacy work from adults in a child’s life, numerous meetings with the school, months of evaluations and tons of paperwork.

Based on the complexities of even qualifying for an IEP, I’d say probably more students need specialized services than are receiving them. Our numbers should probably be much higher.

They also know that parents have an enormous amount of rights when it comes to how children with disabilities are educated. Schools don’t randomly place children on IEPs without parental involvement. Parents have to agree to the placement and can also choose to end those services at any time. Parents get to set the parameters of how often they meet with school leaders and determine how often their child receives services. They can demand a meeting at any time to discuss perceived problems.

And anybody with an iota of sense knows that IEPs are not prescription pads that allow educators to dole out medication or birth control. Medical doctors prescribe that, not speech therapists. In fact, it’s such a farfetched idea, I’ve never heard of that being a concern in Oklahoma. Schools are required to operate within the confines of the IEPs, which parents must sign off on.

But who are we to allow facts to stop some good old fashioned fear mongering?

To Deevers’ credit, he appears to have taken parental feedback seriously. Last week, he announced plans to withdraw the bill and vowed that it wouldn’t be considered in the Legislature.

I hope that more lawmakers will take note, because we often see an unwillingness to take public feedback seriously and plenty of excuses why it should be ignored. A common excuse is they’re only interested in feedback from their constituents.

It’s time for that foolhardy mindset to stop, and the voices of Oklahomans to be taken seriously. People affected by legislation don’t necessarily live within a specific lawmaker’s legislative boundaries, but their tax dollars are keeping the lights on in every office.

I’m glad their message came through loud and clear: Picking on 116,000 children that have diagnosed disabilities is just wrong. And their Legislature shouldn’t be weaponized against them.

Oklahoma state Sen. Dusty Deevers is a far-right pastor and unabashed Christian nationalist who wants to abolish abortion, ban no-fault divorce, outlaw pornography, and literally see this nation taken back to the 1600s.

Earlier this month, Deevers joined fellow Christian nationalist and former Trump administration official William Wolfe on the latter's Center for Baptist Leadership podcast to discuss the presidential debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump.

During the discussion, Deevers asserted that Harris would never support any restrictions or limitations on reproductive choice because those who vote for her are "wicked, murderous people" who are "demon possessed."

"They have rabid, wicked, murderous people who are voting for them and who are the loudest supporters that if they claimed even 30 weeks, 24 weeks, 15 weeks, they are going to be vicious against them and the demons are going to come out," Deevers said. "I'm not saying that those people are demons; I'm saying that a lot of them are demon possessed."

"The demons who want their child sacrifice, who want this land being covered in blood ... that's what the demons want," Deevers declared. "Now, whether they theologically understand that, the demons know it that are advising them," Deevers declared.

Finally, what happens when you elect a Christian nationalist pastor like Dusty Deevers to a seat in the Oklahoma state Senate? You get lectured about how pornography is a tool of Satan and must therefore be outlawed so that people “can be set free” and give their lives to Jesus.
