Episode 3: Christian Nationalism Threatens the Church Oct 02, 2023

Show notes

Andrew reveals how Christian nationalism leads Christians to harm their neighbors when they embrace the idols of power, fear, and violence. He uses two key examples--racism and xenophobia--to demonstrate that these idols violate core Christian beliefs. Through historical examples and interviews with Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove, Robert P. Jones, and others, he illuminates expressions of Christianity that confront Christian nationalism and offer a faithful path forward.

Andrew draws on dozens of sociological studies in order to demonstrate the anti-democratic facets of Christian nationalism. He shows how Christian nationalism shapes attitudes about police brutality, democratic processes, voting rights, immigration rights, and the separation of church and state. He also consults expert voices who echo his warning: Andrew Seidel, Abigail Vegter, Robert Jones, and more.
