Why You Should Be Patriotic
About this episode
The episode discusses the significance of patriotism in the context of declining national pride in the United States and its implications for Christians.
The latest Gallup polling shows that rates of patriotism in the United States are at an all time low. Why does that matter? Ahead of America’s 250th anniversary celebration, Liberty argues why you should be patriotic—and what that actually means. Included in this episode: What does patriotism actually mean? Can Christians be patriotic? Should they be? What about when I disapprove of my country or government? The episode ends with a couple of challenges you can implement this weekend as you reflect on the nation’s history this Independence Day.
