In this conversation, Dr. Richard Mouw discusses the relationship between Christians and their country. He emphasizes the importance of understanding the distinction between country, state, and church. Drawing from biblical examples, such as the people of Israel in Babylon and the early Christians in the Roman Empire, Dr. Mouw highlights the call for Christians to seek the welfare and shalom of the city or nation they are in. He also explores the concept of patriotism and argues that Christians can love their country while also recognizing its flaws and the need for improvement. The conversation touches on topics such as the role of debate in a polarized society, the balance between love of country and love of neighbor, and the global perspective of being citizens of the world.

Elizabeth Oldfield argues that sin is an existential reality, not just a social construct, and that recognizing our own sin is key to living fully. She suggests that sin stems from resisting our relational nature and turning inward. Oldfield shares how intentional community has deepened her discipleship and belonging. Together with Brad Edwards and John Houmes, she discusses the role of sacrifice and obligation in building such communities, highlighting how pastors can convey these values. They also emphasize the need for deep roots and spiritual strength in turbulent times, and the importance of intentional practices to combat distraction and cultivate steady, non-anxious presences.
