Dan is off this week. So we are pleased to bring you a feature from our new limited series American Unexceptionalism: Global Lessons on Fighting Religious Nationalism with Dr. Matthew Taylor and Rev. Susan Hayward. South Korea is a nation that is deeply entwined with the United States. From the Korean War (which never technically ended) to Korean pop culture to the deep ties between Korean and American evangelical communities, what happens in the US affects South Korea and vice versa. But most Americans weren't paying attention to the fact that Korean democracy was startlingly challenged less than a year ago when the president at the time (President Yoon) declared martial law and tried to have his political enemies arrested. That attempt at autocratic takeover was unsuccessful, because Koreans took to the streets to protest and even Yoon's own party helped overturn his martial law decision and then impeach him. What can we in the United States learn from Korean activists and religious communities about how to resist wannabe tyrants? We get help on this question from two of the foremost experts on the interchanges between Korean religion and American religion: Helen J. Kim and Ray Kim.

November 9, 2025 Dr. David Pacini, Professor Emeritus of Historical and Philosophical Theology at Candler School of Theology, leads this three-part series.Christian nationalism has become a common phrase in our public life, but it's often misunderstood. These misunderstandings shape how we see both our faith and our country—and can make it harder to recognize the deeper religious questions it raises.For three Sundays (November 2, 9, and 16), we explore what Christian nationalism actually is and why it stirs such strong feelings in us.Last week, we cleared away some of the confusion surrounding the term—especially the idea that it's simply a label for certain kinds of Christians. We looked at the historical and social roots of the movement and what makes it more than just a political slogan.This week, we'll consider why Christian nationalism feels both familiar and unsettling. Many of its themes echo our spiritual traditions, yet they also challenge them in surprising ways.Next week, we'll reflect on what makes Christian nationalism so appealing to some people, and what its rise reveals about our own longings and anxieties as a faith community.This class won't offer a final verdict or single “right” interpretation. Instead, it will invite open conversation and thoughtful reflection on the religious significance of Christian nationalism—and what it may be asking of the Church today.

Email us: Will@faithfulpoliticspodcast.comIn this episode of Faithful Politics, Josh and I sit down with Dr. Kevin Burke from the University of Georgia, co-author of the National Education Policy Center report Christian Nationalism and Educational Policy in the United States. We explore how Christian nationalism is reshaping public education—from classroom prayer and Ten Commandments laws to school choice and state-funded religious schools.Dr. Burke explains how recent Supreme Court decisions like Kennedy v. Bremerton and Carson v. Makin opened the door for religion to play a larger role in public life and what that means for the future of church-state separation. We also talk about whether this movement reflects a moral revival or a coordinated political project.It's a candid, challenging look at how faith, politics, and education collide in today's culture wars—and what's really at stake for America's classrooms.Watch or listen on YouTube or wherever you get your podcasts.Read the report: https://nepc.colorado.edu/sites/default/files/publications/PB%20Burke-Hadley_0.pdfGuest Bio: Dr. Kevin J. Burke is an Associate Professor at the University of Georgia, specializing in curriculum theory, educational policy, and the cultural intersections of faith, politics, and schooling.

BrownTown sits down for a follow-up conversation to earlier this year, analyzing the shock and awe strategy of the Trump-Musk aligned agenda and how we got there. Fast-forward to fall 2025, BrownTown speaks candidly on Trump's war on Chicago. While the lies and terror of ICE kidnappings, killings, and military-style raids on family housing projects color Operation Midway Blitz, Chicago fights back. More and more, the brutality and incompetence of the alphabet boys is on wide display as everyone from seasoned organizers to everyday community members hold the line and get involved in the most historically effective and creative ways. Now, with the imperial boomerang in full effect and Christian Nationalism more explicitly codified into policy after the murder of Charlie Kirk, BrownTown takes inventory of our current cultural and political moment with a sober analysis and hope for the future.

FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text MessageDebates over “Christian nationalism” are loud, confusing, and often heated. We cut through the noise by defining the term, tracing its historical footprints, and then asking a better question: what kind of political love do Christians owe their country? From Constantine's Roman empire to Spain after the Reconquista to the paradoxes of American civic religion, we map how faith has shaped law, identity, and public symbols—and where that fusion has harmed religious liberty and the common good.We then turn to the modern surge of interest, from the Moral Majority to Stephen Wolfe's call for a Christian nation state, and weigh it against Taylor Marshall's counterpoint: nationalism is the wrong frame. Patriotism, grounded in the virtue of piety, is the older, wiser path. Drawing on Aquinas, we explore the ordo amoris—God, parents, family, neighbor, fatherland—as a safeguard against idolatry of nation and against indifference to civic life. Your homeland deserves love and service, not worship; your neighbor deserves charity, not coercion.What does that look like in practice? We outline a posture that favors persuasion over compulsion, subsidiarity over sweeping control, and laws that protect life, family, and human dignity while guarding conscience and pluralism. Public symbols can unify when tied to shared goods, but they cannot replace the slow work of formation in homes and churches. If you've felt torn between withdrawal and culture war, this conversation offers a third way: confident, ordered love of country that remains accountable to God and oriented to the common good.Key Points from the Episode:• definition of Christian nationalism and its claims• case studies in Rome, Spain, and the United States• symbols, laws, and the limits of state power• Moral Majority to Stephen Wolfe: modern currents• Taylor Marshall's critique of nationalism's roots• patriotism as a virtue in Aquinas's piety• the ordo amoris guiding civic love• practical guardrails for public faithOther resources: Want to leave a review?

A Christian Nationalist movement became present in previous years leading questions of its legitimacy as a Christian political lobby. The visible surge of “Christian Nationalism” had ignited in 2016 with Trump, which re-energized post-2024 election. However, has faith become politically branded with a lobby to entice voting in the Christian churches? We have to wonder if that Christian movement politically motivated rose as a spiritual force to platform God, or just become a promise to reclaim America for God under political means and operates as just another form of control. Is the Dominionism system of the NAR really for taking over spiritually for Jesus Christ, or a front for a false kingdom that replaces true faith with political allegiance?
In this special edition of the Theology Mom podcast, I explain why religious neutrality in the public square is impossible. I also expose Islam's 3-stage jihad plan to colonize America—and share EXACTLY what Christians must do NOW to save our Christian nation. This is your wake-up call. Resources:
Larson and Rich kick off today's episode with an acknowledgment of Christopher Columbus's work and faith. Then they dive into the crisis of fatherlessness and the collapse of masculine responsibility in today's world. They argue the church must recover a joyful, unapologetically patriarchal vision of the household — where men lead generationally and discipleship begins at the family table. “Proof as Moral Obligation” by Doug Wilson "Not Stolen" by Jeff Fynn-Paul "The Book That Made Your World" by Vishal Mangalwadi NYT Interview w/ Doug Wilson

[00:02:10] – EU's Climate SuicideKnight exposes how European automakers are forced to buy carbon credits from Chinese EV companies to avoid EU fines, calling it “deindustrialization by design.” He mocks the irony of Western nations paying China—the world's biggest polluter—to “offset” emissions, framing it as proof the climate agenda was never about the environment but global economic control. [00:12:33] – Paris Accord: The Real Industrial KillerKnight revisits the 2015 Paris Climate Accord, blaming it for the West's energy collapse while exempting China and India. He accuses Trump of pretending the treaty was legitimate instead of rejecting it outright, saying this preserved executive overreach and guaranteed continued U.S. compliance with globalist energy restrictions. [00:35:50] – Trump's $230 Million Self-Pay ScandalKnight exposes Trump's plan to reimburse himself $230 million in taxpayer money for legal expenses, calling it proof of his monarchical attitude toward power. He says Trump's behavior shows that presidents now act like kings—raiding the Treasury for personal gain while claiming to fight corruption. [01:29:10] – CIA Lies and Deep State Hypocrisy Knight covers Jim Jordan's perjury referral against former CIA Director John Brennan, noting how the GOP ignored far worse crimes by Gina Haspel and James Clapper. He argues these selective prosecutions are not about restoring the rule of law but enforcing loyalty to Trump. [02:04:15] – Trump's Enemies List and CIA RetributionKnight reveals Trump's “Interagency Weaponization Working Group,” a coalition of federal agencies targeting his personal enemies. He argues this proves Trump's “deep state purge” is really a consolidation of power—a political revenge operation that turns the intelligence apparatus into a presidential hit squad. [02:15:48] – Trump's Lies, War Plans & Venezuela EscalationKnight ridicules Trump's claim to be greater than Washington and Lincoln while pushing CIA operations and airstrikes in Venezuela. He praises Rand Paul for opposing Trump's “summary executions at sea,” calling it a new form of civil asset forfeiture—“confiscation of life without trial.” [02:35:20] – War Crimes, Christian Nationalism & the New InquisitionKnight condemns Christian nationalist figures like Pete Hegseth for glorifying extrajudicial killings as holy wars. He says this betrayal of Christian ethics turns faith into a tool of empire and makes American militarism a form of religious apostasy. [02:40:35] – The Coming War & Trump's MadnessKnight warns that Trump's open use of the CIA in Venezuela marks the next stage of U.S. regime-change wars. He praises Rand Paul's bipartisan resolution (S.J. Res. 90) to block unauthorized military action and calls Trump “the most double-minded man in history,” pretending to be a peacekeeper while preparing for war Follow the show on Kick and watch live every weekday 9:00am EST – 12:00pm EST https://kick.com/davidknightshow Money should have intrinsic value AND transactional privacy: Go to https://davidknight.gold/ for great deals on physical gold/silverFor 10% off Gerald Celente's prescient Trends Journal, go to https://trendsjournal.com/ and enter the code KNIGHTFind out more about the show and where you can watch it at TheDavidKnightShow.com If you would like to support the show and our family please consider subscribing monthly here: SubscribeStar https://www.subscribestar.com/the-david-knight-showOr you can send a donation throughMail: David Knight POB 994 Kodak, TN 37764Zelle: @DavidKnightShow@protonmail.comCash App at: $davidknightshowBTC to: bc1qkuec29hkuye4xse9unh7nptvu3y9qmv24vanh7Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-david-knight-show--2653468/support.

Is it possible to reclaim or reimagine these terms in ways that are not problematic and true to our own understanding of faith?

What happens when punk rock meets modern faith trends? In this episode, the hosts dive deep into the cultural and spiritual dynamics shaping contemporary Christianity. From the consumer-driven "revival" narrative—marked by increased Bible sales and app downloads—to the troubling intersections of faith and political ideologies like Christian nationalism, they explore what genuine spiritual renewal really looks like. Highlighting the concept of cruciformity, they discuss how the church's role in society should reflect Jesus' teachings of love, justice, and humility, rather than power and control. Through thoughtful conversation, they unpack the transformative power of prayer, emphasizing honesty over performance and exploring how trusting in a good and generous Father reshapes our understanding of faith. Drawing parallels to cultural icons like the Ramones, the episode also touches on how creative expressions and subcultures can challenge the status quo, much like the radical message of Jesus. Join the discussion as the hosts navigate the tension between cultural issues and the theology of the Kingdom of God. What does it mean to live out a faith rooted in service and sacrifice in a world driven by consumption and division?

John this time discusses Politico releasing to the public a Young Republican group chat that included racist language, jokes about rape and flippant commentary on gas chambers - which then prompted bipartisan calls for those involved to be removed from or resign their positions. He also talks about Trump, who is once again back at it with extrajudicial killings of brown people he claims are "narcoterrorists". There is no credible factual or legal argument that we're engaged in an armed conflict with any drug cartel under international law... so Trump and Hegseth's excuses don't hold water. Next, he speaks with writer, theologian, and permaculture enthusiast Dillon Naber Cruz on the evils of Christian Nationalism which is at the heart of the rude and racist Young Republican group chat. And lastly, John welcomes back legal analyst Dr. Tracy Pearson to answer questions from listeners.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
When hate is loud, love cannot afford to whisper. When forces of oppression are on the move, lovers of freedom must respond. When those who seek to replace democracy with theocracy are gaining ground, those who are sworn to preserve and protect democracy must stand our ground. Jesus, of course, was neither oppressor nor hater nor promoter of theocracy. There are those who claim to speak for him at times, however, who are all of those things. One of the primary forces behind Project 2025 is a political movement called Christian Nationalism. Christian Nationalism speaks not of the teachings of Jesus - feeding the hungry, helping the poor, healing the sick, and kindness to the stranger. Their vision is not about love, but power - specifically a version of power that transgresses basic American Constitutional principles (subjugation of women, primacy of Christianity over other religions, and more). Progressive Christians are rising up in response, bringing to the theological as well as political sphere a voice that is much needed at this time. Theirs is a Jesus of the Gospels, recognizing that loving one another is indeed the salvation of the world. My guest in this interview is Brian Recker, author of HELL BENT: How the Fear of Hell Holds Christians Back from a Spirituality of Love. Recker, a former Evangelical pastor, is an influential figure in the Christian Deconstructionist Movement. He explains a journey taken by millions of Christians in America today. who feel strongly that a Jesus of love, not retribution, should guide our hearts.

Pastor Doug Wilson has popularized Christian nationalism by leading Christ Church in Moscow, Idaho, and building a network of over 150 churches, schools, and media outlets to advocate for a biblically governed American theocracy blending evangelical faith with conservative politics.

In this bonus episode of LIVE FREE, Pastors Josh Howerton, Russell Johnson, Ryan Visconti, and Josh McPherson explore the biblical relationship between Christianity and patriotism. Is loving one's country Christian nationalism or idolatry? They unpack how believers are not only allowed but called to actively engage in politics and culture. Now is the time to advocate for righteousness, turn back to God, and walk in bold obedience. Drawing on biblical examples and historical context, they challenge the idea that Christians should withdraw from political involvement and instead encourage faithful engagement to influence society for good.
