Is Christian Nationalism Actually Biblical?

Is Christian nationalism the biblical answer to a culture moving further from God? Todd works through Phil Johnson’s case against Christian nationalism, examining Scripture, church history, political power, and what Jesus actually commissioned His church to do. Segment 1 • What did John MacArthur really mean when he said there is “no such thing” as Christian nationalism? • How can you distinguish ordinary Christian patriotism from Christian nationalism? • The movement has some troubling voices, but Todd says there’s an even bigger problem: Is it biblical? Segment 2 • What happens when the church gains the political power to enforce Christian values? • Christian nationalism isn’t new. What can its track record teach us? • Before embracing a “Christian nation,” consider what happened when Christians actually tried to build one. Segment 3 • Who is supposed to establish Christ’s kingdom on earth: the church or Christ Himself? • Are Christians fighting a political war or a spiritual one? • Laws can restrain evil, but can political power actually change the people you’re trying to change? Segment 4 • Was Jesus a Christian nationalist? His response to Peter’s sword offers an important clue. • Want a more moral country? Changing behavior without changing hearts won’t get you there. • Todd offers a different strategy for creating a more Christian nation: go make disciples.
