Podcast appearances and mentions of Christian nationalism

How Thin Is the Line Between Patriotism and Nationalism?   Curtis Chang and David French take a hard look at the rise of Christian nationalism and its growing influence on American faith and politics. They unpack how this ideology blurs the line between patriotism and nationalism, reshaping evangelical identity and challenging both biblical and constitutional values. Drawing from history and theology—from January 6th to modern evangelical movements—they reveal how love of country can be redeemed from the distortions of fear and power. Listeners are invited to reflect on what true patriotism looks like for followers of Jesus in a divided America.   (02:30) - Understanding Christian Nationalism in America (11:03) - Defining Christian Nationalism in America (17:37) - The Emotional Identity of Lived Out Christian Nationalism (26:17) - Challenging American Identity and History (33:43) - America's Story and a Universal “us”?

Christian Nationalism is now a hot topic in the United States. It is not a religious movement articulating the love and teachings of Jesus as they relate to public policy. Rather, it is a political movement that bears little resemblance the teachings of the gospels - healing the sick, feeding the hungry, helping the poor, and being good to the stranger seem to have fallen by the wayside - and promotes the message that Christianity should take precedence over all other religions in this country. Its Seven Mountains Mandate is a rather chilling repudiation of religious freedom. My video today is a conversation with public theologian Brandan Robertson, in which he gives answers to many of the questions I've had about this movement. Who are they? What do they stand for? What is their connection to far right wing conservative politics? And what is their plan for America's future? A genuinely progressive Christianity, harkening back to the love of Jesus and its relevance to our individual as well as collective lives, is being powerfully articulated by such speakers as Robertson. Thankfully, progressive Christians are not quiet right now. Their numbers are growing, and they're speaking up. I hope you find the interview interesting. It's critically important that we understand what's going on. Rev. Brandan Robertson is a noted author, activist, and public theologian, dedicated to exploring the intersections of spirituality, sexuality, and social justice. He serves as the Pastor of Sunnyside Reformed Church in New York City and is the founder and Executive Director of The Devout Foundation. Known as the “TikTok Pastor,” Robertson's inclusive theological content has garnered 10 million views. He has authored, contributed to, or edited 23 books, including the INDIES Book of the Year finalist True Inclusion. His work has been featured in TIME Magazine, CNN, and The Washington Post. Robertson is a sought-after speaker who regularly presents at prestigious platforms like The White House and Oxford University, continuing to inspire and challenge audiences around the world. Robertson acquired a Bachelor of Arts in Pastoral Ministry and Biblical Studies from Moody Bible Institute, an Master of Theological Study from Iliff School of Theology, and an Master of Arts in Political Science and Public Administration from Eastern Illinois University. He's presently pursuing a PhD in Biblical Studies at Drew University. He currently resides in New York City.  Subscribe to Marianne's Substack: MarianneWilliamson.Susbtack.com

“Migration is grace,” says UCLA professor Robert Chao Romero, author of Brown Church: Five Centuries of Latina/o Social Justice, Theology, and Identity. In this episode, he joins Mark Labberton to discuss the immigration crisis through stories from Southern California, theology of migration, and the challenge of Christian nationalism for the American response to the immigration crisis we face. Romero narrates heartbreaking accounts of ICE raids, racial profiling, and dehumanization, while also offering hope rooted in scripture and the early church. He points out the “Xenodochias” of the ancient and medieval church that cared for migrants. And he shows how biblical narratives—from Abraham to Jesus—reveal God's mercy in migration. Romero calls Christians to see the image of God in migrants, resist the “Latino threat narrative,” and reclaim the church's historic role in welcoming the stranger. Episode Highlights “Migration is grace. … You wouldn't have a Bible without migration.” “Jesus lived and died as an outsider in solidarity with all outsiders, and he rose to new life among outsiders.” “The gospel is an outward pushing invitation… it is the pushing out actually into the far and remote places of suffering in need.” “This level of targeting of the Latino community has not happened since 1954 and Operation Wetback.” “We think that crossing the US border is like crossing the Jordan into the promised land, and we're baptized into the Yankee Doodle song.” Helpful Links and Resources Brown Church by Robert Chao Romero UCLA César E.

We don't belong to the world.” “ Jesus lived and died as an outsider in solidarity with all outsiders, and he rose to new life among outsiders.” (Jorge Lara-Braud) Jesus as an asylum seeker in Egypt; Ruth and Joseph as biblical migrants Early church created “xenodochias”—ancient and medieval social service centers for immigrants and the poor Outsider theology: Christians as strangers and aliens, called to care for outsiders “Jesus lived and died as an outsider in solidarity with all outsiders.” Policy Challenges and Misconceptions Millions of mixed-status households trapped by the “10-year bar” in immigration law Asylum seekers legally present cases at the border under U.S. law Refugees undergo extensive vetting, often over decades Common myths about immigrants as “illegal” are contradicted by law and history Faith, Empathy, and the Church Empathy as central to Christian response, counter to narratives of fear and scarcity Latino pastors passing on both the gospel and nationalism from missionary influence The church historically provided refugee care before the UN Refugee Agency existed Worship with immigrant congregations as a source of hope and resilience Orthodox theology: worship joins heaven and earth, every tribe and nation before the Lamb Production Credits Conversing is produced and distributed in partnership with Comment Magazine and Fuller Seminary.

Gary points out that the mainstream media's obsession with the boogeyman of Christian Nationalism is a willful ignorance of Islamic Nationalism. Muslims have no problem admitting that their goal is total domination through conversion or submission. And yet, Leftists don't seem to be bothered by this and focus more on Christian Nationalists as the problem.

Coming to you solo from Costa Rica this week. In this episode, I unpack the growing conversation around Christian nationalism—how the media has weaponized the term, what it reveals about global propaganda, and why nationalism itself has been wrongly vilified. I share my thoughts on how this kind of messaging shapes what people believe about faith, identity, and patriotism.I also share a personal story about losing my wallet in Costa Rica and how it led to a conversation about money—specifically, my thoughts on the market, inflation, and investing. I even consider whether it's time to sell some Netflix stock and shift toward Spotify, reflecting on how companies' values & cultural direction can influence long-term investment decisions.I also talk about the UN's push for global AI oversight, Tesla's record-breaking performance, the rise of Grokopedia, Trump's Gaza peace deal, and so much more.

With all the talk about Christian Nationalism, what does the Bible actually say about what God calls the Civil Magistrate to be and do? What is their standard of justice and how should they rule? According to their own wisdom or God's Word?

What Is Christian Nationalism? - Episode 599 - Voices in my Head (the Rick Lee James Podcast) Whenever Christians fuse the cross with the flag, we lose our prophetic voice that allows us to call the nation(s) to repentance and justice. This fusion of the church with an idolatrous ideology makes the body of Christ captive to political powers and parties. In doing so, the church abdicates its true allegiance to Jesus and surrenders its freedom to serve him as Lord. The Church cannot serve two masters. I have been posting often about the dangers of Christian nationalism because it is so different from the way of Jesus and it is not a fringe ideology anymore. Jesus invited people into the kingdom through table fellowship, accepting invitations and offering his own. He never forced belief or grasped for power. The kingdom of God is never advanced by violence toward others, but through self-giving, radical love, even to the point of suffering, so that no harm is done to another. At the heart of his teaching is love for enemies, not domination over them. Some people respond to posts like this by saying they have never met a Christian nationalist. The reality is that Christian nationalism often shows itself less in individuals wearing a label and more in movements, policies, and rhetoric. One example is the Seven Mountain Theory, which teaches that Christians should dominate areas like government, education, media, and the arts. In our own time, we see this vision advanced through proposals like Project 2025, through leaders such as Russell Vought and Lance Wallnau, and in public policies that aim to insert compulsory religious content into schools or reshape government around explicitly Christian norms. This is not the way of Christ. His kingdom is built not on control but on love, welcome, mercy, and even love for those who oppose us. And even while I write about these things, it is important to say that Christian nationalists themselves are not the enemy. They are my baptized brothers and sisters. But even if they were the enemy, which I do not consider them to be, the call of Jesus is to love our enemies and live a better way.

The streets of London recently filled with thousands of protesters taking part in so-called “Unite the Kingdom” rallies.Many objected to large-scale immigration. Some used Christian symbols to bolster their cause, prompting a former Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams, to warn against co-opting the cross for nationalist campaigns. Has the Christian nationalism that defines much of the American Right now migrated to Britain? GUEST:DAVID CAMPANALE is a freelance journalist who spent 30 years with the BBC. He covered the rally for Premier Christian Radio and Christianity Magazine. David's also a fellow of the Danube Institute.

Dr. JB Hixson Mary welcomes back JB Hixson to take a closer look at his latest book, "The Great Apostasy". With seemingly so many different ways in which the church has lost the plot regarding her mission, events of late dictate that perhaps the chapter in his book on falling away politically deserves a second and third look. While the church seems to think that saving the American way of life from imploding should include a side order of the gospel, and while that is a noble thought, we should rather ask, "what are we missing?". Maybe the overarching question should be, "what are we losing?" as politics takes center stage more and more. The passing of the head of TPUSA has revealed many things about the church here in 2025, and the biblical maturity of those who are inheriting it. We talk about Christian Nationalism, the marriage of politics and faith; Dominion Theology, postmillennialism, and why Americans are so obsessed with politics. What is the Left? What is the Right? Is it really just Coke or Pepsi? Are Christians so naive to think that there is salvation of ANY kind in politics, considering who owns the systems of the world?

Ep 44 - Special EpisodeIs the current movement sweeping America a true spiritual revival—or something else entirely?In the wake of recent events, churches are packed, leaders are speaking Jesus' name, and talk of revival is everywhere. In this episode, we urge believers to pause and ask critical questions: Which Jesus are people proclaiming? Is this the gospel of the kingdom—or a gospel mixed with nationalism and politics?In this timely episode, they explore: ✅ Why "Jesus plus anything" equals nothing ✅ The difference between revival FOR God vs. OF God ✅ How to test the spirits in this cultural moment ✅ Why God is not American (and why that matters) ✅ The danger of confusing political movements with spiritual awakening ✅ What true repentance and revival actually look likeThis isn't about being cynical—it's about being discerning. We want to see genuine revival, but we must ensure people are meeting the real Jesus Christ, not a political figurehead or cultural Christianity.⚠️ Key Warning: Paul said if anyone preaches another gospel, let them be accursed (Galatians 1:8-9). When the gospel gets mixed with politics, nationalism, or any other agenda, it loses its power to save.

This week, we deep dive into Pastor Robert Shinn, his Shekinah Church, and his management company 7M Films - and examine how a modern cult has (allegedly) exploited TikTok dancers, financially abusing them, sexually abused them and other members, while also possibly being connected to the very popular and scary Seven Mountains Mandate that currently has strong Whitehouse connections. While this cult is scary, a brewing American attempt at a theocracy is the most disturbing part of this week's information-heavy episode for me.  Hail Nimrod! Merch and more: www.badmagicproductions.com Timesuck Discord! https://discord.gg/tqzH89vWant to join the Cult of the Curious PrivateFacebook Group?

While everyone is arguing over the implications of Charlie Kirk's assassination, everyone is missing a much bigger problem. Making Kirk an idol won't make us more of Christian nation - it will make us less of one. Regardless of whether you think he was some great guy or not, he is just that - a guy. This is not a revival. The right has not found God, they've found a grift. Unfortunately, millions of Americans who claim to be Christians are propping this grift up while they bow down and idolize a man they didn't know and who was merely an internet commentator. These people are supporting both false prophets and idolatry in one fell swoop. For a party obsessed with making Christian Nationalism a synonym for America they sure are quick to abandon God and replace him with the political savior of the moment. This is idolatry in 2025.

She walks us through the shift from evangelism to domination, the rise of the Seven Mountain Mandate, and how imagery of good versus evil fuels political engagement—from “Jericho marches” to Stop the Steal rallies. We also discuss the connection between these movements and broader themes of dominion theology, Christian Reconstructionism, and charismatic expressions of faith.Listeners will learn how this rhetoric not only mobilizes believers to vote, protest, and organize, but also raises concerns about political violence and democratic stability. Drawing from her dissertation research, Karrie offers insight into how narratives about “principalities and powers,” demon mapping, and America's supposed covenant with God shape today's most polarizing debates.Guest BioKarrie Gaspard Hogewood is a licensed social worker and PhD candidate in sociology at Tulane University. Her research explores the ways religion, politics, and social movements intertwine, with a particular focus on spiritual warfare rhetoric and its role in shaping political engagement. Raised in Louisiana's Southern Baptist tradition, Karrie brings both personal experience and scholarly expertise to her work. Her dissertation examines how Christian nationalist groups construct “the enemy” and use spiritual warfare language to mobilize political action, from school board campaigns to national rallies. She has been featured in academic and public conversations about Christian nationalism, the rise of the New Apostolic Reformation, and the growing influence of Support the show

In this episode, John Stephens and Matt Russell dive into one of the most pressing conversations facing the church today: the rise of Christian nationalism. Together they explore what the term really means, why definitions matter, and how patriotism and faith can be confused or faithfully held in balance.Drawing from voices like David French, Russell Moore, and others, they unpack the dangers of fusing Christianity with political power, trace historical examples from Constantine to the Civil Rights movement, and wrestle with key biblical passages including Israel's demand for a king, Jesus before Pilate, and the temptations in the wilderness.At the heart of the conversation is this question: what does it mean to love your country without compromising your ultimate allegiance to Christ and the kingdom of God?Listen in for a thoughtful, pastoral, and challenging discussion that seeks to help Christians navigate faith and politics without falling into the trap of idolatry or fear.

Journalist Sarah Stankorb comes on the show to talk about her book, Disobedient Women, and the deep dive she did on why a series of evangelical women in America began to leave their communities as the internet came into prominence. They discuss patriarchal teachings within cultures like the Quiverfull movement, including stories like Vyckie Garrison’s, who was pressured into having repeated pregnancies that defied her doctors and put her life at risk.They also dive into figures like Bill Gothard, who built the IBLP curricula and created a system of mini-cults across the country, the many stories of sexual abuse that were covered up by various religious organizations, and how online communities helped women share stories, band together, and begin to speak out. Plus: how figures like Doug Wilson helped push Christian nationalism from the fringes into the political mainstream.

You're listening to Right On Radio. Live right in the real world. News, views, opinions, and attitudes — expect frank, sometimes heated, but always candid conversation. In this episode host Jeff is joined by guest John Brisson for a wide-ranging discussion of the last seven days' biggest flashpoints: the memorial service for Charlie Kirk, the mixing of politics and worship at Turning Point events, the growing influence of Christian nationalism, and whether current developments amount to a "real Great Reset" or a controlled, false awakening. John explains his long-held thesis that we are living through a deliberately managed reset and they unpack how recent events fit that narrative. Highlights include reflections on Erica Kirk's public forgiveness of her husband's alleged assassin and its contrast with political rhetoric about vengeance, the role of high-profile voices (Trump, Stephen Miller, Jack Posobiec) in stoking nationalist sentiment, and concerns about ecumenical compromise when political movements adopt religious language. The hosts debate Trump's faith and intentions, the ethics of judging public leaders, and where spiritual discernment intersects with political accountability. The conversation also turns to domestic policy and social questions: immigration enforcement and deportations, the chaotic reality and moral costs of mass removals, homelessness in American cities, and controversial proposals for camps, psychiatric care and medical interventions as solutions. Jeff and John disagree at points but converge on the call for charity and practical church involvement, warning that government alone cannot shoulder the moral responsibilities churches once fulfilled. Listeners can expect candid disagreements, scriptural references, and real-world proposals — from patient advocates to local acts of charity — plus a closing musical pick and a pastoral reminder to love God, family and neighbor. This episode is for listeners who want faith-centered analysis of current events, not partisan cheerleading: honest critique, tough questions, and an invitation to think about where church, state and conscience meet.

On this episode of “Fearless,” Jason Whitlock discusses how Charlie Kirk's memorial service showcased the beauty of Christian nationalism. During the service, Charlie Kirk's widow, Erika, forgave Kirk's accused assassin, Tyler Robinson, in the ultimate act of Christian virtue. Whitlock reviews other highlights of the memorial, including Tucker Carlson calling for repentance and trolling Benjamin Netanyahu; Vice President JD Vance admitting he hadn't been comfortable talking about his faith but has talked about his beliefs more since Charlie Kirk's death; Marco Rubio's powerful words about Charlie Kirk and Jesus; and a TPUSA staff member remarking that Erika Kirk is an “absolute force” for TPUSA's future. A poignant show you'll want to bookmark and revisit. ​​Today's Sponsors: PreBorn Thanks to your support, PreBorn! has saved over 38,000 babies this year, but with abortion challenges escalating, your $28 donation can provide ultrasounds that double the chance of mothers choosing life, so please call #250 and say "BABY" or visit https://Preborn.com/FEARLESS to make a direct impact.

What happens when faith, politics, and cultural divides collide? In this thought-provoking conversation, Mike Erre and Tim Stafford explore Charlie Kirk as a person, a symbol, and a cultural marker. Is he a champion for Christian values or a polarizing figure in today's culture wars? This episode dives into the complexities of navigating cultural challenges, the role of the church in society, and the nuanced intersections of faith and politics.  The hosts critically examine Turning Point USA's mission, its connections to Christianity, and the implications of blending biblical principles with political ideologies. They challenge the idea of "Christian nationalism" and question whether the gospel is being redefined in service of cultural power. Themes of cruciformity, love for neighbors and enemies, and the countercultural way of Jesus are central to this discussion. Join us as we unpack whether the church should engage in culture wars or embody a different way—faithful to Jesus' teachings of humility, justice, and hope. We encourage you to reflect, share your thoughts, and engage the conversation on Facebook and Instagram. Let's pursue understanding together as we navigate these challenging and important questions about faith and our cultural moment.  CHAPTERS: 00:00 - Why We're Not Doing The Lord's Prayer 01:19 - Charlie Kirk: Person vs Symbol 02:12 - The Church as a Signifier of the Kingdom 07:15 - Charlie Kirk: Cultural Symbol 10:22 - A Deep Dive on Turning Point USA 19:30 - Reading Turning Point USA's Mission Statements 22:10 - Reading TPUSA Faith's Mission Statements 26:40 - What's in the Constitution Coach 29:55 - What We Believe 40:50 - Misunderstanding of the Bible 45:54 - Misunderstanding of the Church 49:21 - Misunderstanding of Jesus 50:56 - Christian Nationalism 57:06 - Biblical and Historical Illiteracy 57:45 - Hope and Joy 1:03:03 - Is There Hope 1:05:27 - Practical Steps 1:13:05 - Last Thoughts 1:15:43 - Thank You As always, we encourage and would love discussion as we pursue.
