Caleb Campbell – Disarming Leviathan

How do we engage with our Christian nationalist neighbors?

Pastor Caleb Campbell has watched as Christian nationalism has taken over large swathes of the United States. And he’s suffered the relational fallout of standing against it, both in his community and in the church. Now he’s written a book published by IVP called ‘Disarming Leviathan: Loving Your Christian Nationalist Neighbor’.  It’s designed to equip Christians to minister to their Christian nationalist neighbors.

Caleb has been a pastor at Desert Springs Bible Church in Phoenix, Arizona, since 2006 and lead pastor since 2015.  He’s a doctoral student at Fuller Theological Seminary and serves as the regional director for the Surge Network.
