| 0:00.0 | What is up everyone? Hello welcome back to another episode of the new evangelicals |
| 0:18.5 | podcast. I have a very special episode today. I had the pleasure of interviewing not one but two |
| 0:26.8 | amazing people that have really helped me flesh out Christian nationalism, its |
| 0:31.7 | root, and why it matters. |
| 0:33.2 | So I have Rabbi Avi on the podcast, |
| 0:37.2 | along with Dr Stephen Backhouse. |
| 0:40.1 | Now, Dr Stephen Backhouse is the founder and director of tent theology, a venture that designs and delivers |
| 0:46.0 | theology programs for local churches, and he is very well educated on Christian nationalism. |
| 0:51.6 | In fact, Dr. Backhouse says that essentially |
| 0:55.4 | essentially evangelicalism and Christian nationalism have always been a thing. They |
| 1:00.4 | have never been separated, which was really interesting. And then Rabbi |
| 1:04.3 | Abby is a Canadian rabbi in Montreal, and in 2015 he founded the Jewish |
| 1:10.1 | Learning Lab for adult Jewish education and from July 2017 to 2018 served as |
| 1:16.7 | intern rabbi of the Spanish and Portuguese synagogue of Montreal. Now Rabbi |
| 1:22.3 | Abbey is an amazing educated person that helped so much during this conversation |
| 1:30.1 | help me understand the idea of Jewish Zionism and where it comes from and how Christians have kind of taken that idea and made it a thing for America. |
| 1:41.0 | So anyway, I'm kind of like there's just so much to talk about in this |
| 1:44.7 | interview. I don't want to give too much away, but this is a very helpful |
| 1:48.8 | informative interview that was full of me really just learning different ways of understanding what we talk about so often. |
| 1:57.3 | You know, this really unique, well not unique, I should say widespread idea of Christian nationalism in the US so I hope you all enjoy this episode that being said of course friends if you can give us a rating and a subscribe on YouTube or on Apple Podcast that'd be such a huge help. |
| 2:15.0 | It really helps us in the search engine. |
| 2:18.0 | It helps us get recommended. |
