Christian Nationalism is all the rage in the media these days. By some it is used as a term of derision, a smear, in order to silence debate. By others it is a vision of what their nation should be and strive for. In this episode, Ramirez and I seek to clarify its meaning and ask the question if Christians should take up the smear in the same way our fathers in the faith took on the name “Lutheran.”

The last time we spoke, Adam Koontz mentioned that the family used to be the place where all the things for Christian living and living in general were passed down. But we live in a culture with no names for things. And we live a culture with no names because we as the church lack a robust modern articulation of the theology of creation and the created order and the wisdom found in that order.
