Meet the Hitler-loving podcaster who's teaching young Christian men to hate - in the name of God

He’s a Hitler-loving podcaster on a mission to convince young Christian men to hate – all in the name of God.

Corey Mahler, 39, of Maryville, Tennessee, is unapologetically a racist, an antisemite, a fascist and a Christian nationalist who thinks Hitler is in Paradise and the Jews he killed are in Hell. He wants a right-wing Christian government that will deport Jews, immigrants and people of color. He does not rule out the possible need for genocide.

Mahler answered, “Our goal is to push young men to become actual Christians,” — which, in his mind, includes being racist and antisemitic.

And his influence extends even further as those young men go back to their own churches with ideas they pick up from his podcast.

“The issues that we raise then get talked about on Sunday or during the week. There are men in their Bible studies discussing those issues. There are pastors having to respond to those issues,” Mahler said.

And conservative church pastors around the United States agree that Mahler is causing trouble within their congregations.

“This isn’t just some online fight. This is about what’s coming into the church itself,” said James White, a member of the ministry team at Apologia Church in Mesa, Arizona.

Apologia pastor Luke Pierson called Mahler “an evil man.”

“This is a vile doctrine that needs to be completely obliterated out of the church – and it’s there and it’s a problem,” Pierson said.

Similarly, Chris Rosebrough, pastor of Kongsvinger Lutheran Church in Oslo, Minn., called Mahler “one of the most dangerous people on the planet.”

“He somehow has this amazing ability to make white supremacy, fascism and the racial ideology of the Nazis look like it is virtuous,” Rosebrough said.

Part of Mahler’s idea of being an actual Christian can be found in his tweet that “Jesus Christ is Lord, and Adolf Hitler is His faithful servant.”

“I don't have a problem with genocide per se, and I can't as a Christian because God commanded it in the Old Testament of the Canaanites.”

Mahler’s message is not unlike the neo-Nazis we’ve confronted on Nashville streets – or even members of the Ku Klux Klan who once operated in the backwoods of the Old South.

If these pastors truly see Mahler as a problem they want to address, they should condemn Trump and hate speech, because what he is preaching is awfully close to what is coming from churches and the current mainstream Right.

Yes, a lot of what Trump spouts is hate speech. That is a big reason the loonies are emboldened.

He Believes Hitler Went to Heaven — and Wants to Take Over the Lutheran Church
On Ash Wednesday, the First Lutheran Church in Knoxville called the cops on a parishioner who was attempting to attend services. Corey Mahler — a white nationalist who has sought to transform the Lutheran Church into a bastion for young fascists — was removed from church grounds for causing what his pastor called “harm and division to the body of Christ.”

The move against Mahler in Tennessee was set in motion a day earlier in St. Louis. The president of the nation’s second-largest Lutheran denomination posted a denunciation of agitators “propagating...

For and by Christians: How Idaho’s influential Christian Nationalist group wants to reshape the state

In the future that the Idaho Family Policy Center envisions, every public school classroom in the state would begin the day with teachers reading from the King James Bible.

Verse by verse, over 10 years of school, children would hear their teachers recite the entire Bible, from Genesis to Revelations, and the repeated exhortations that Jesus Christ is God. Students who didn’t want to listen would have to bring a note from their parents.

The policy center’s attempt to make that vision a reality — a bill introduced this year in the state Legislature — failed to get traction. But the policy center’s president, Blaine Conzatti, is playing the long game. “We're going to introduce it again next year, and I am confident and optimistic in the chances of success.”

His organization has swiftly become the largest conservative policy organization in the state, having a hand in successfully pushing some of Idaho’s most controversial bills in recent years, including laws restricting access to abortion, puberty blockers and controversial library books.

The U.S. Supreme Court has considered mandatory Bible reading laws to be unconstitutional for the last six decades. But after a series of recent rulings, an emboldened movement of Christian nationalists — conservatives who want to use government to elevate their religion over other faiths — hope the constitutional walls dividing church and state are poised to come tumbling down.

The Idaho Family Policy Center is part of a national network of like-minded groups. It’s closely aligned with Doug Wilson, an incendiary Idaho pastor whose theocratic gospel has earned fame and condemnation. And now, it has allies in the White House.

The policy center’s growing influence over Idaho lawmakers alarms Liz Yates, a program manager at the Western States Center, a nonprofit that tracks extremism. Yates said the organization’s goals are ultimately “anti-democratic.”

“They are trying to install a theocracy in which the authority of government comes not from the people, but from the Bible,” Yates said. “And people who don't subscribe to that form of Christianity are the ones who are excluded."

Indeed, Conzatti stressed that he would allow only Christians to serve in public office.

Denver pastor, wife indicted in $3.4 million cryptocurrency scam

Eli, who ran the online-only Victorious Grace Church, and Kaitlyn Regalado were indicted by a Denver grand jury on 40 felony charges of theft, securities fraud and racketeering for soliciting nearly $3.4 million from investors who bought into a cryptocurrency they created called INDXcoin, the district attorney’s office announced Tuesday.

Eli Regalado told his parishioners that God directed him to start the cryptocurrency and a related marketplace, Kingdom Wealth Exchange, as a “wealth transfer” for God’s people, according to the indictment.

But only a fraction of that money went toward the business, investigators say. The funds were transferred directly into the couple’s bank and Venmo accounts, and least $1.3 million went to personal expenses, including plane tickets, car payments and a home renovation Eli Regalado said “the Lord” told them to do.

In a since-deleted video posted in January 2024, Eli Regalado admitted he and his wife pocketed the money but insisted “God is not done with this project” and asked his parishioners to stand by the couple.

But that's how you run the church. When that mother Theresa raised $75 million for the poor but the Vatican took all the money for themselves, no one persecuted them. Not to mention the church of Scientology or the church of LDS.

Mother Teresa didn’t raise money for the poor. She raised money for the Vatican and made no bones about it.

A computer, a radio, a drone and a shotgun’: how missionaries are reaching out to Brazil’s isolated peoples

Despite laws protecting uncontacted communities, evangelical Christian missions employ many methods to spread their message, including on secret audio devices left in the forest.

“I am sure that God is a god of love; therefore, if he is a god of love, he will take me to heaven when I die, so that does not worry me. I would like to remind you of something, since you have forgotten one of the most important aspects of life – death – and the fact of being acceptable in the eyes of God. Let me explain it,” is one of the messages the device carries.

Similar devices, called the Messenger, have been used to spread religious messages, despite proselytising being prohibited among uncontacted and recently contacted peoples, according to Brazilian law. Messenger devices are distributed by the US Baptist organisation In Touch Ministries, based in Atlanta, Georgia.

Groups such as the New Tribes Mission and Youth With A Mission (YWAM) have long been active in the region, some employing covert methods such as secret audio devices and unauthorised visits to spread their faith. Recent incidents include an unauthorised missionary interacting with local people and building a church near an isolated Indigenous group along the Maia creek.

Missionary activity now threatens 13 of the 29 isolated peoples that Brazil officially recognises as definitively confirmed, according to the federal prosecutor’s office.

Marcos Pepe Mayuruna was converted and “trained” to be a pastor in Atalaia do Norte by US religious leaders. He says YWAM has a strong presence in the region.

Marubo says the cultural impact of white people’s beliefs impoverishes the reality of Indigenous peoples. “I fear that in future, our peoples will be like a book with a cover that’s missing its contents,” she says.

Mayá, the Korubo leader who now has the In Touch Messenger audio bible, was more blunt. “I don’t want missionaries to come to our village. If they do, we will club them.”
