About this episode
Ed Rybarczyk discusses his identity as a Christian nationalist and the implications of faith on national identity.
In ancient days Jesus' followers were mocked for being "little Christs." The specific term was Christianoi, Christians (Acts 11:26). Our ancient sisters and brothers "owned" the derisive term, Christian. Me? I've decided to own the designation Christian Nationalist. Why? Well, I explain that more carefully in the show, but for starters it is because I love both my faith and my country. How can the Christian faith bless the nation? (And if you don't believe Christianity can bless the nation why are you a Christian?) Along with giving reasons for all that I also offer a few remarks on the recent invasion of Iran. Why is that a good thing? What concerns do I have? Come think and laugh with me.
