Hegseth's pastor is a heretic.

Brooks Potteiger, Hegseth's pastor:

Public enemies. These are the Orcs at the gates. You are not called to love the barbarian horde that is planning to break into your city and pillage, plunder, rape, and mutilate you and your people. You don’t love that horde.

Jesus Christ, Matthew 5:43-45:

“You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.

Beat me to it. Blatant heresy. Directly and completely contradicts biblical canon and principals from the altar. He's a liar, a hypocrite, and a vile human being. Of course Hegseth goes to that guy's church.

Not only does he go to it. I can almost guarantee you based on the behavior of other fundamentalist Christians he probably directly sought this guy's church out for how extreme his views are.
