Summary
There's a lot of confusion over the term "Christian Nationalism." Originally the term actually referred to a kind of socialism brought about by individuals within a nation ceding their freedom to a centralized state in order to "love their neighbor." Now, it refers to the idea that nations do exist, members of a nation ought to prioritize the needs of other members, and Christianity should be a fundamental characteristic of the nation.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Conversations That Matter Podcast. I want to talk today about |
| 0:17.0 | Christian nationalism because that's the buzzword. That's the thing that you hear |
| 0:21.8 | about now more than probably any other term. |
| 0:24.3 | Now it might change next week, but right now Christian nationalism is the term that is |
| 0:28.7 | used against conservative Christians, |
| 0:35.0 | Christians in evangelicalism. |
| 0:37.0 | And it's been interesting watching this term become popular as of late and seeing the |
| 0:45.6 | development it seems to me now this is this is my memory here and I think I did a |
| 0:49.1 | show on this at the time it seems to me this became more popular to accuse people of Christian nationalism |
| 0:56.6 | right about the time, really right after perhaps the election of 2020 happened and there was this |
| 1:05.3 | period where we didn't and as if you listen to my podcast you know kind of where I |
| 1:10.1 | stood on that but we didn't know what was going to happen it was a bit |
| 1:14.9 | tenuous and there was a lot of tension and there was a |

| 1:34.0 | And there was one rally, and I'm not sure if this was specifically called to stop the steel rally, |
| 1:40.0 | but that was the intention it seems, and it was during that period of time I was not there it was in DC |
| 1:45.5 | general Flynn was there as I remember I think Eric Mataxus might have been there and I remember just so vividly that day when there was that rally happened on |
| 1:55.9 | Twitter it was Beth Moore put a tweet out and just raked everyone over the coals who were involved in this and this is in the term as far as I remember that she used was Christian nationalism and since then that has become the buzzword. |
