Greg McCall is the Director of the Iowa for Jesus Network.
The Iowa for Jesus Network, however, doesn’t appear to be a very active organization. There is a Facebook profile page for the Iowa for Jesus Network, but it seems to have never been fully set up. There is, likewise, a LinkedIn profile for Greg McCall as a Facilitator for the Iowa for Jesus Network, but that LinkedIn profile was never fully activated.
There is also a record of Greg McCall from the Iowa for Jesus Network visiting a church, the Heart of Iowa House of Prayer, and telling a man there named Marc Jackson that there is a prophesy that every place he walks is “given” to him by God.
There is a record from 2010 of a Greg McCall who claimed to be a Ministry Leader at the Lutheran Church of Hope in West Des Moines, Iowa, who declared that all marriages in the United States must obey harsh Christian religious rules about who can be married and how married couples must behave. McCall signed a letter sent to the Iowa state legislature demanding that the legislators submit themselves to the power of Christian leaders.
The letter stated that Christian rules about marriage must be obeyed by everyone:
“Because God is God of all, there is no structural difference between religious and civil marriage. The essence of marriage remains the same in both the religious and civil realms. (Col. 1:15-19) The acknowledgement of, and reference to, marriage in the laws of our state and nation does not create a second realm of marriage that is somehow divorced from the only definition determined by God.”
There is no record of any Greg McCall currently working at the Lutheran Church of Hope in West Des Moines, however.
Donald Trump’s Army of God: Christian Nationalism in the Iowa Faith Leader Coalition is a new book about the alarming truth of militant Christian Nationalism hidden behind the innocuous label of “faith” in Iowa politics.
The book examines the extremist Christian Nationalist ideology, grounded in details about the beliefs and actions of 317 actual Christian Nationalists who are working to undermine democracy across the state of Iowa.
The radicalization of the Iowa Christians profiled in this book enables us to understand the motivations and methods within the Christian Nationalism that exerts an increasing toxic influence in American political culture.
The Iowa Faith Leader Coalition is a radical political organization that violates the law
Let’s make it our business to become aware of the radical preachers who are members of the Coalition.
