Podcast appearances and mentions of christian nation

Americans are fascinated with politics. How can we engage our communities and neighbors in political topics while we hold to a faith tradition that embraces nonviolence and non-governmental participation? Bryant Martin tells how he was embarrassed about these beliefs in the past, and how he came to a clear understanding of serving society by engaging with it in nonpolitical ways. Bryant outlines ways we can serve our communities and engage well with political issues, while also being aware of the fallacy that America is a “Christian nation.”Reaching America by Gary MillerSidetracked by Gary MillerThe Myth of a Christian Nation by Greg BoydBryant started Sowers Harvest Cafe; find more info here.Chapters00:35 Story from Bryant's Youth07:31 Coming to Peace with Conscientious Abstention10:14 Overcoming the World with the Cross13:30 Preserving Grace21:38 A Vision for God's Global Kingdom23:18 Fear, the Internet, and Polarization29:55 Preserving or Redeeming?34:03 Seeking Political Power is Counterproductive38:26 How to Talk about Politics42:50 A New Christendom?48:15 Charlie Kirk55:45 Living Beautiful LivesThis is the 297th episode of Anabaptist Perspectives, a podcast, blog, and YouTube channel that examines various aspects of conservative Anabaptist life and thought.

Is "Christian nationalism" just a scary label—or is it simply what happens when Christians take Christ's lordship over every area of life seriously? Kevin and Bill discuss the latest polling on Christian nationalism, expose the myth of "neutral" pluralism, and show why every law system rests on a god and a worldview. From Saudi Arabia to Samoa to Washington, D.C., they argue that nations either acknowledge the Triune God or drift into humanistic anarchy—and that declarations alone aren't enough without repentance, justice, and obedience to God's law.

In this episode of the ProveText Podcast, Dr. T. Michael W. Halcomb sits down with Dr. Paul D. Miller—professor of international affairs at Georgetown University, veteran of the war in Afghanistan, and author of The Religion of American Greatness: What's Wrong with Christian Nationalism—to talk about Christian nationalism, patriotism, and faithful public engagement.What is Christian nationalism, and how is it different from healthy love of country? Can Christians bring their convictions into the public square without trying to “take the nation back for God”? What are the spiritual dangers when we fuse political identity with Christian faith?Whether you're disillusioned with politics or tempted to pin your hope on it, this episode will help you think more clearly—and hopefully more Christianly—about public life.

Pastors Josh McPherson and Kyle McMullen ask what it really means for a country to be a “Christian nation,” starting with the Pilgrims' original motives. From there, the hosts contrast a constructive Christian vision for nations, family, and masculine responsibility with destructive revolutionary impulses, engaging critically with Nick Fuentes' rhetoric, his views on women, Jews, history, and “America First.” They also respond to Tucker Carlson's comments about Dietrich Bonhoeffer, and just war. Josh and Kyle warn about the spiritual and cultural dangers of conspiratorial thinking, irresponsible platforms, and “darkly anointed” influencers. Want to help spread the mission of Stronger Man Nation?

Jackson Lahmeyer, the founder of Pastors for Trump and a member of the White House Faith Council, discusses anti-Christian bias under previous administrations and how President Trump's administration is bringing faith back to the forefront.

Today we're trashing feminism some more, because it obviously deserves it. Feminism is not only unbiblical, it's extremely destructive for all of society. We'll talk about why Christian podcasters like Allie Beth Stuckey shouldn't defend their feminism while claiming to follow Christ, and why Christianity itself is a patriarchy, by God's design. It's time for biblical men to stop waiting for permission from feminists and take back the authority God gave them. We'll also discuss more of the Trump administration's mistakes, including this ridiculous new 50-year mortgage idea that proves how far from wisdom our leaders have fallen.

Today we're discussing the debate between feminists and non-feminists, and why I side with the non-feminists for biblical reasons. Just because women can do some of what men do doesn't mean we should. We'll also continue discussing the Charlie Kirk case, Erika Kirk's strange behavior, why being a widow doesn't automatically make you innocent, and why it's deeply concerning that TPUSA refuses to distance itself from Israel, even as Charlie's final words publicly challenged Israel, Judaism, and the control of figures like Ben Shapiro over the conservative movement.

There's more going on in that infamous Republicans groupchat than most realize but the real issue isn't the gossip, it's how easily people trade conviction for comfort. In this episode, we talk about the growing weakness on the Right, the danger of valuing offense over free speech, and why all of our rights must be protected at all costs. We'll also cover more updates on the Charlie Kirk case and how Trump's failures in his second term (including his refusal to release the Epstein list and his submission to Israel) prove that no man should ever be placed where only God belongs.--https://policecoffee.com/collections/coffee

These are the last words of Jesus while he was on this earth. It is often called the Great Commission because it is a believer's purpose in life.

Today's episode of Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson is a carefully crafted full-on rant about two awful cultural failures, Donald Trump and Taylor Swift. Both, in their own ways, are failing the next generation and pushing the normalization of pedophilia. Trump refuses to release the Epstein list or hold powerful pedophiles accountable. Meanwhile, Taylor Swift flaunts her naked body on her album cover marketed to an audience that includes young girls who are already being tempted by a society pushing them toward OnlyFans. Feminism has clearly failed. We need to bring back the biblical patriarchy, AKA Christianity.At some point, we have to stop asking why is all of this happening and start living biblically individually, in our families, and as a society. For the sake of our own wellbeing and (far more importantly) the protection of our children. If we can't even agree to safeguard their innocence, what are we doing? Why aren't we protecting the children?--https://bakerbookhouse.com/featured/the-brand-sunday

Episode 592E. Michael Jones delves into the complexities of American identity, the influence of social engineering post-World War II, and the moral dilemmas facing the nation today. He argues that the American Empire is in decline, driven by a loss of moral compass and the impact of external influences, particularly from Israel. Jones predicts significant changes in the near future, including a potential conflict between Jewish and Catholic identities in America.

This hour, Ian Hoch has a conversation with the WWL listeners about the role of religion when it comes to humanitarian aid for foreign countries and how much of the government's ability to provide aid should factor into the moral obligation to do so.

Lerone A. Martin is the author of The Gospel of J. Edgar Hoover: How the FBI Aided and Abetted the Rise of White Christian Nationalism . For this episode, Lerone explains how the FBI, led by J. Edgar Hoover, colluded with religious authorities to shape the soul of America throughout the 20th century.

Guest: LTC Lee Robinson, USA In this Crosspoint Highlight from July 2025, LTC Lee Robinson tackles the complex question: Was America founded as a Christian nation? Lee draws a distinction between the first founding (e.g., Puritan colonies with explicitly religious laws) and the constitutional founding rooted in liberty and freedom of conscience. He explains that while America's early cultural fabric was deeply influenced by Christianity, the U.S. Constitution intentionally avoided establishing a state religion—rejecting even a proposed religious test in Article VI. Citing Alexis de Tocqueville, Lee paints a vivid picture of early Americans shaped by both faith and civic engagement, underscoring the enduring impact of Christian values on the nation's moral habits, even if not enshrined in its legal foundation. What do you think? What does the balance between personal faith and civic freedom look like for Christian leaders today?

What defines a nation's greatness? Pastor Trevor's sermon highlights America's founding as a Christian nation, built on biblical principles, which shaped its unique identity and enduring liberty.

Segment 1: • John MacArthur: There is no such thing as “Christian Nationalism.” • Jesus never tied political power to advancing His kingdom. • Christ came for hearts, not government control—He calls us to live transformed lives, not to seize nations. Segment 2: • Christians should care about politics, but can't force governments to obey Scripture. • Jesus' kingdom is not of this world—He didn't overthrow Rome. • Christian Nationalism often lacks clear biblical support despite quotes from theologians. Segment 3: • Jesus promised His spiritual kingdom would prevail against darkness, not political kingdoms. • We must align with what Scripture says, not postmillennial dreams of a theocracy. • Christians should engage politics wisely, but expect the world to get darker, not Christianized. Segment 4: • Seeking a “muscular Christianity”? Be careful it doesn't become vigilante Christianity. • When, if ever, should Christians resist or overthrow corrupt governments? • We must obey God over man—but Scripture limits when and how resistance is biblical. ___ Thanks for listening!

By the world's standards, Christians make some audacious truth-claims about everything from morality and virtue to sexuality and marriage. Throughout this series, we will explore five such claims, and each week, you - the congregation - will have the chance to voice your own opinion by answering a simple survey. At the start of every message, we will share the poll results, and compare our congregation's opinions to what the Bible has to say. Join us every Sunday in June at The Story Church as we fact-check five controversial Christian claims!

In this episode of Uncommon Sense, we're talking about Tucker Carlson's highly discussed interview with Senator Ted Cruz. I'll be sharing my honest thoughts on how it went, why I think Tucker came out ahead, and what this kind of bold, unscripted, and unapologetically frank conversation means for the future of political discourse (spoiler: I'm all for it).We'll go into why I support constructive confrontation—yes, even when it gets "mean" and uncomfortable. The Founding Fathers didn't tiptoe around the truth, so why should we? They debated passionately because the stakes were high. The polite punditry act is wearing thin, and people are tired of political puppets mouthing safe lines. They're craving what we saw here: real conviction, real disagreement, and real questions.We'll cover why I believe Tucker won this exchange: from his biblical literacy to his serious concerns about foreign lobbying groups like AIPAC having a hand in U.S. policy. Ted got visibly nervous when pressed about Scripture, about Israel, and about U.S. involvement in a possible war with Iran. And the question still lingers: Why are we only now suddenly being pushed to act, when Trump was reportedly targeted by Iran two years ago?Most importantly, we'll reflect on Tucker's question—a theological one with deep political ramifications: Who is the real Israel according to God? Is it the modern state that does not believe Jesus is Lord and historically has required a denial of Christ for Jewish returnees? Or is it the true church—those who belong to Christ?I'll share my belief unapologetically: Israel is the body of believers in Jesus Christ. Not those who reject Him. Not those who crucified Him. That's a hard truth, but a necessary one in these last days when clarity very much matters.Faith shouldn't be a popularity contest.--https://www.thebrandsunday.com/products/the-bible-study-physical?srsltid=AfmBOorwAVEYslTlOGA-36_bHHjruNDOebEKWQ6M2115NZZwL8WG_ali

Politically speaking, is America a Christian nation? Is there any country that you would define as a “Christian Nation”? In this interview, I discuss the following with my guest scholar: ►Did Washington, Adams, Jefferson and Madison believe that America is a Christian nation? ►Is Canada a Christian nation? ►Is Britain a Christian nation? ►What is America's 'Civil Religion'? ►What does the term 'secular' mean? No. It's not that simple!►Has America experienced a secular surge? ►We have the Religious Right in our politics. So, why don't have a Secular Left? ►Is it true that until about the 1970s, religion was not a partisan issue? ►Is religion in America a zero-sum game? ►Is it possible to secular and religious at the same time? ►What does it mean that the decline of Christianity in America has stopped?

It's time we said it out loud: Jesus is not a Republican. He's not a Democrat. He's not American. And He's not interested in being a political mascot. In this bold, prophetic episode of The Mark Casto Program, we confront one of the most dangerous idols in modern Christianity: the toxic fusion of faith and politics. Christian nationalism has hijacked the gospel and turned pulpits into podiums—but the Kingdom of God is bigger than red vs. blue.

"What Took Over?" Is the UK still a Christian nation? #multiculturalism vs Christianity, # UK post-Christian #UKpolitics, #Easter, #Christianity, #UKNews, #BritishCulture Is the UK still a Christian nation? In this video, Jon Gaunt explores the decline of Christianity in the UK and ask what's replacing it. With rising secularism, political promotion of other faiths, and trust-eroding church scandals, has Christianity been pushed out of British public life? Does it matter? Gaunty dives into how British values are changing, what role the monarchy and politicians play, and whether Christianity still holds cultural relevance in the UK today.

On this episode of "The Federalist Radio Hour," Aidan Grogan, a history PhD student at Liberty University and a contributor at Young Voices, joins Federalist Senior Elections Correspondent Matt Kittle to break down Bernie Sanders' blasphemous campaign rally and analyze how Americans' embrace of secularism has changed the political landscape of the country. Read Grogan's article "Fighting Oligarchy or Fighting Christianity?" here. If you care about combating the corrupt media that continue to inflict devastating damage, please give a gift to help The Federalist do the real journalism America needs.

The Eikon team explores the themes of exile, identity, and leadership in the context of the gospel and the Old Testament. They delve into the concept of exile as a central theme in the Bible, and examine God's design for kingship, militarism, the economy and status in Israel's history. They consider this as a clarifying metric for the embodied gospel and a conundrum for claims of any country that wishes to claim the status of a Christian nation.   00:00 Introduction and Banter05:21 The Concept of Exile in the Gospel10:11 Understanding Israel's Identity as Exiles17:46 Kingship and God's Design for Leadership28:30 Militarism and Its Implications30:06 Facing Fear in Battle31:16 God's Perspective on Militarism32:43 Faith in God's Protection34:26 The Role of Israel's Land36:49 Economic Principles in God's Kingdom39:30 The Role of Priests and Levites41:33 Caring for the Poor and Foreigners43:27 The Challenge of Being a Christian Nation46:22 Social Justice and Equality in God's Kingdom
