Christian Nationalism or Patriotism? What You Really Need to Know

Is it wrong for Christians to love their country? Are we supposed to flee from anything labeled “Christian Nationalism”? Or has the media twisted the narrative?
In this episode of The Free Man’s Podcast, we break down the difference between biblical patriotism and dangerous nationalism, and explore how God’s Word should shape society—not through theocracy, but through truth and love.
Drawing on thinkers like Albert Mohler, Francis Schaeffer, William Wolfe, and the Founding Fathers, we explore how Christian principles shaped early America (and why Biblical principles should still shape society today)—and why Christian men today must reengage with culture and government while keeping the gospel the main thing.
🔑 Topics Covered:
• What is Christian Nationalism (and what it isn’t)?
• Biblical vs. media definitions
• Patriotism through a biblical lens
• The danger of making the nation your idol
• Why Christians must lead in civic life
• How to love your country without losing your soul
🛡️ We’re not called to build Christ an earthly kingdom—but we are called to stand for truth, justice, and liberty under Christ’s Lordship.
