Is Christian nationalism inherently violent?
Does Christendom inevitably lead to coercion, persecution, and the abuse of power? Or have modern secular states simply hidden their own forms of coercion behind the language of neutrality and liberty?
In this episode of The Magistrate, Josh Howard and James Baird respond to Gordon-Conwell Seminary president Dr. Scott Sunquist’s article “Nation or Kingdom” and examine some of the biggest assumptions surrounding Christian nationalism, pluralism, church and state, religious liberty, and political theology.
Can governments ever be morally neutral?
Is every legal system rooted in a religious vision of reality?
What are the biblical limits of civil authority?
And what does Christ’s kingship over the nations actually require?
This conversation explores:
Christian nationalism and coercion
The history of Christendom
Religious liberty and pluralism
Protestant political theology
Church and state relations
The role of the civil magistrate
Whether secularism is truly neutral
Christ’s authority over nations
If you’re tired of shallow debates and talking points surrounding Christian nationalism, this episode offers a deeper historical and theological framework for understanding the issue.
My Australian friend Brett Lee-Price recently published a timely article about China’s need for solid theology, and what some Australians are doing about it. I’ve been meaning to share this for a few months now, and today felt like the time after meeting with Brett on Monday during a whirlwind week down under.

In a recent Congressional hearing, a current CIA employee exposed just how extensive the government’s COVID-19 cover-up was. The Washington Stand’s Mark Tapscott joins host Casey Harper to break down the hearing and examine the growing questions surrounding the CIA’s role. If COVID-19 was truly a natural accident, why were intelligence documents reportedly changed? Is the CIA monitoring its own employees? And how much did Dr. Fauci know about the origins of the virus? All of this and more on today’s episode.
Growth and cash are inversely related — when one goes up, the other comes down. That's the nature of the trade-off. But knowing the trade-off exists and actually preparing for it are two very different disciplines. The mistake isn't pursuing growth. The mistake is pursuing growth without breathing room. You need to know your run rate, and account for it.

In this episode of the Based Boomer Podcast on the EM Network, Mike De Virgilio examines the true meaning of the Great Commission in Matthew 28 and asks a question most modern Christians never consider: What does it actually mean to “disciple the nations”?
Exploring the Greek word ethnē, this conversation tackles whether Christ’s command extends beyond personal evangelism into culture, government, law, education, and society itself.
Can nations be discipled?
What would a truly Christian civilization look like?
And why has much of the modern Church abandoned this vision?
This episode dives into:
The meaning of “all nations” in Matthew 28
Christianity and cultural transformation
The relationship between Church and nation
The myth of “private faith”
Eschatology and the future of Christian civilization
Why modern evangelicalism shrank the Great Commission
If you've ever wondered whether Christianity applies to every sphere of life — this conversation is for you.
