The topic of Christian nationalism just won’t seem to go away. But do we really understand it? The definition is undoubtedly slippery and has led to much debate: Is calling someone a “Christian nationalist” a slur? Or something to be proud of? Is it good or bad for the country? For Christianity? Today, Keith sits down with Andrew Whitehead, a professor and author who has found himself at the center of the Christian nationalism debate. Hear Andrew share insights from his recent book, “American Idolatry: How Christian Nationalism Betrays the Gospel and Threatens the Church,” giving a solid definition of Christian nationalism and explaining how biblical Christianity confronts, challenges, and corrects it. He also provides several examples of what it is (and isn’t!) to demonstrate how true Christian nationalism capitalizes on power, fear, and violence to threaten the spiritual lives of American Christians. Plus, what’s a faithful path forward for making sense of the relationship between faith and politics? Listen now!
