460 Why I'm a Happy Christian Nationalist

460 Why I'm a Happy Christian Nationalist

Uncensored Unprofessor

In ancient days Jesus' followers were mocked for being "little Christs." The specific term was Christianoi, Christians (Acts 11:26). Our ancient sisters and brothers "owned" the derisive term, Christian. Me? I've decided to own the designation Christian Nationalist. Why? Well, I explain that more carefully in the show, but for starters it is because I love both my faith and my country. How can the Christian faith bless the nation? (And if you don't believe Christianity can bless the nation why are you a Christian?) Along with giving reasons for all that I also offer a few remarks on the recent invasion of Iran. Why is that a good thing? What concerns do I have? Come think and laugh with me.

In this—my 200th public—episode I reflect on the state of my show and what it was like to leave a tenured professorship. I also carefully reflect on the nature of the Great Washout we are experiencing. How is it different from previous washouts? How is the clamor for diversity more truthfully a push for a monochrome uniformity? What does all this mean for the Church? Come laugh and think with me!

Cult of the Now

We here in America are witnessing an energetic push for cultural revolution. But it is not new. It's happened before. What lessons can we draw from Russia, a land that had been suffused with Christian values? What did Marxism and its culture change do the Russian church? What was the decided strategy for undoing and replacing the church? What should critically minded believers learn from all that?

Most coups are local and violent over-throws of rulers. Soft coups involve a gradual, incremental, willing handing over of power. Are we in the midst of a soft coup? Sure looks like it. So how'd we get here? What is the strategy that has brought us to this historic crux? Answer: a massive societal loss of nerve, a loss of nerve driven by a moral re-structuring. In this episode I relate all of this to my own golf game. Weird things happen when you lose your nerve!
