There’s a growing accusation that Christian involvement in government equals “Christian nationalism.” In the Sons of Issachar Season 1 finale, Bill and Scott set the record straight — explaining from Scripture why engaging in civic life isn’t nationalism, it’s obedience.

In this final episode of Sons of Issachar Season 1 — Our Christian Nation — Bill and Scott wrap up the series by confronting a growing misunderstanding in the modern Church: that Christians who care about their nation or engage politically are “Christian nationalists.”

The hosts walk through Scripture and history to show that biblical citizenship is not about power or politics, but about faithful stewardship. Christians are called to influence their culture, speak truth to power, and uphold righteousness in every sphere — including government.

The Sons of Issachar remind us that to “understand the times” means recognizing that God calls His people not to retreat, but to represent Him faithfully in every arena — from the home to the halls of government.

There’s a lot of talk about “Christian nationalism” — but much of it is confused, misused, and misunderstood. In this episode, Bill and Scott address how this topic has been misrepresented and misapplied within the Lord’s Church, and what Scripture actually says about the Christian’s relationship to both nation and Kingdom.

Is it wrong for believers to love their country? Where does patriotism end and idolatry begin? And why are so many in the Church quick to label biblical conviction as “nationalism”? 

With biblical clarity and pastoral concern, the hosts explore how the concept of “Christian nationalism” has been distorted, weaponized, and misinterpreted — both by critics outside the Church and by confused voices within it.

📖 In this episode:
• What the Bible actually says about nations, kingdoms, and citizenship
• The difference between biblical patriotism and political idolatry
• How fear of man has silenced truth in the Church
• The danger of redefining faith through cultural narratives
• How believers can love their country without losing sight of the Kingdom

The Sons of Issachar remind us that Christians are called to “understand the times” — to live faithfully as citizens of heaven while influencing their earthly nations with grace, truth, and courage.

In this special episode of Sons of Issachar, Bill and Scott take a closer look at the spiritual movement stirring on college campuses and across the nation. Is it true revival — or just a moment of emotional excitement?

Revival is more than tears and music; it’s transformation rooted in repentance, obedience, and truth. The hosts challenge listeners to examine where our passion is directed: toward Christ and His Word, or toward an experience that fades when the feelings do.

📖 In this episode:
• How to discern genuine revival from emotional enthusiasm
• Why biblical truth must guide every move of the Spirit
• The danger of chasing feelings instead of faithfulness
• How past revivals began — and what sustained them
• Practical steps for churches and believers to anchor revival in Scripture

As the Sons of Issachar remind us, understanding the times means seeing through emotion to truth — and calling God’s people back to the foundation that lasts.

Recent events, including the assassination of Charlie Kirk, the stabbing death of Iryna Zarutska, and a shooting at a Catholic elementary school, highlight the urgent need for Christians to stand up and fight for what is right. As advocates for truth and righteousness, it is our duty to confront injustice and protect our values in the face of adversity.

Charlie Kirk exemplified this commitment by using his voice to champion conservative principles and promote moral accountability. Christians must follow his example, not retreating in the face of hostility but boldly defending our beliefs and standing against wrongdoing. 

We are called to be warriors for righteousness, actively engaging in societal issues and advocating for those who cannot defend themselves. It is essential that we unite to fight for justice, uphold our values, and encourage others to join the fight for a better future reflecting our faith. Now is the time for Christians to rise and assert their responsibility to stand up for what is right.
