Christ Is King: Reclaiming Christian Statecraft in America

About this episode

Bryan Dawson interviews Aaron Miller about the intersection of Christianity and politics, exploring the concept of Christian statecraft and its implications for the future of America.

In this episode of 1819 News: The Podcast, Bryan Dawson sits down with Aaron Miller, founder of the Institute for Christian Statecraft, for a deep conversation on Christianity, politics, leadership, and the future of Western civilization. They discuss what “Christian statecraft” actually means, why Christians can’t retreat from politics, the importance of building generational inheritance, and how strong Christian leadership can reclaim culture and institutions. The conversation also explores Rhodesia, the failures of modern conservatism, the rise of Christian nationalism, and why young men are searching for purpose, mission, and truth in an increasingly hostile culture. If you’ve ever wondered how faith should shape politics—and why the future of America may depend on it—this episode is for you.
