Episode 135 Understanding Christian Nationalism: What It Is and Why It Matters

Christian nationalism has quickly become one of the most talked-about—and misunderstood—topics in America today. In this episode, Ron Moore interviews Joe Melaragno to explore what Christian nationalism is, how it differs from biblical Christianity and healthy patriotism, and why the conversation has become so significant in our cultural moment. Together they examine its historical roots, theological claims, political influence, and the concerns it raises for religious liberty and the mission of the Church. They also discuss why many sincere Christians are confused by the term and how followers of Jesus can faithfully engage both their faith and their citizenship. Whether you've heard the phrase in the news or around your church, this conversation will help you think biblically.
