| Summary: | This article examines Vashti and Esther together as a model for responding to dangerous power. I explore Christian nationalism formation as a destructive power in the United States and its far-reaching impact.

I argue both responses are valuable and sometimes necessary to survive and flourish in the face of white Christian nationalism. |
