EPISODE 0189 | Christian Nationalism: Part 2
THESE NOTES ACCOMPANY EPISODE 0189
In this episode, Pastor Stephen, Pastor Daniel, and Pastor Nate continue their series on exposing Christian nationalism by tackling myths six through ten—clarifying why border stewardship is not hatred of immigrants, why loving your country doesn’t mean worshiping it, how secular revisionism distorts America’s Christian roots, why speaking to moral issues isn’t political idolatry, and what it really means to be peacemakers (not mere peacekeepers). Along the way they contrast cultural pressure with Kingdom priorities, unpack the difference between policy wins and spiritual obedience, and call believers to humility, repentance, and courageous engagement in the public square.
Main Topics Covered:
✔️ Myth 6: “Christians are anti-immigrant” vs. biblical compassion + ordered borders and assimilation
✔️ Myth 7: “Patriotism replaces devotion to Christ” — keeping Kingdom first while serving your nation
✔️ Myth 8: “It’s all revisionist history” — Christian influence in America’s founding and its limits
✔️ Myth 9: “Speaking on politics is idolatry” — addressing moral evil without making politics a savior
✔️ Myth 10: “Christian nationalism is violent” — peacemakers vs. peacekeepers and the pursuit of shalom
Key Scriptures:
📖 2 Chronicles 7:14 – Humility, prayer, repentance, and healing
📖 Romans 12:18 – “As far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone”
📖 Judges 21:25 – “Everyone did what was right in his own eyes”
📖 Ephesians 6:10–18 – The whole armor of God; stand firm
📖 1 Peter 2:11–17 – Citizens of heaven who honor rulers and live visibly good lives
Key Takeaways:
🔹 Ordered borders can flow from love of neighbor; compassion and prudence aren’t opposites.
🔹 Loving your country is good—so long as allegiance to Jesus remains supreme.
🔹 Erasing Christian influence from America’s story is its own revisionism.
🔹 Addressing public sin isn’t idolatry; silencing the church is not “peace.”
🔹 True peace (shalom) often requires courageous conflict that leads to righteous order.
🎧 Listen now and be equipped to hold a Kingdom-first posture—humble, bold, and anchored in truth—while engaging your culture with conviction and grace.
