Episode description

How should Christians think about their nation? Is patriotism inevitably idolatrous? Whilst modern Christians have many reasons for being cautious of nationalistic fervour, few are aware of the reverse problem. Many westerners today are taught to be embarrassed by their national heritage and culture, leading to significant cultural decay. This affects not only national cultures but also local family and folk cultures, which risk becoming evermore obsolete as the West becomes more uniformly globalised.

Does God not care about any of this? Has he called His people to care about such issues or to ignore them? Does national identity play any role in a Christian's mission to advance the kingdom of God in and to the nations of this world? Join Nathan and Aaron as they talk about this vital topic for our times.

Be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might
Defy the devil and act like men
Love the brotherhood
Fear God Christ is Lord
God save the king...
