177. What Is Christian Nationalism And Is It Right?

17:17 Podcast

A phrase that has all sorts of definitions, what the heck is Christian Nationalism? Is it okay to love God and country? Where is the line? Should Christians advocate the fusing of nation and religion?
In today’s episode, Pastor Jackie and Pastor Derek talk through the idea of Christian Nationalism. In the season of Independence Day and a big upcoming Presidential election, the idea of Christian Nationalism is pretty charged up. We dive into defining the term, seeing what the Scriptures say about nationalism and government, and how God would have us live this out in a different political system than the early Christians had. We hope that this episode is helpful in your understanding and gives you a more clear perspective of the relationship of Christianity and America.
