He argues that Christianity is not mere belief in God’s existence but a wholehearted trust that leads to obedience and pilgrimage. From there, he contends that America’s founding vision was shaped by a biblical understanding of covenant, virtue, and self-government under God. Metaxas challenges believers to reject both empty religiosity and godless globalism, calling them to live as faithful pilgrims who honor Christ above all, including nation, while rightly loving and stewarding their country.
