A conversation with Paul Miller - S10.E9 Jun 17, 2022

Show notes

We idolize political ideologies, or we tell ourselves that faithfulness to God means allegiance to a particular political ideology. In this conversation with host Warren Smith, Paul Miller makes a case against Christian nationalism and the tendency of its adherents to confuse it with the tenets of Biblical Christianity.
