Hi, everyone. This is Curtis, and I am excited to tell you about a new feature of the GoodFaith podcast, and it's called Campfire Stories.

Now, in a great campfire, everyone has the opportunity to share their stories. And so, in Campfire Stories, we want to hear from you.

We want to hear a story about what you are doing along the themes of the GoodFaith podcast, perhaps it's something about how you're living out your relationships with political polarization, how you are trying to reflect the image of God in your institution and organization, or what you're doing with your money, or your vocation, anything that has been sparked by the themes that we've covered here in the GoodFaith podcast is fear game.

It doesn't matter if it's a big story, a small story, or something in between, as long as it's a story about what you are doing in your life.

We're not so much interested in hearing just thoughts. We want to hear stories of doing.

So, we'll put a link in the show notes where you can just click on it and then supply us the basic outlines of your story of doing, of living out the themes of GoodFaith podcast.

And we'll look at it and we may invite you to share that story on a GoodFaith blog, a social media, or perhaps even invite you to come on the GoodFaith show yourself and talk to me and share your story.

Like, how cool would that be? I'd love to hear from you. I'd love to talk with you. So, please consider joining the Campfire by actually joining actively and sharing your story with others gathered around the Campfire.

Thanks.

Welcome to the GoodFaith podcast. I'm David French with Curtis Chang and Curtis. I think this podcast might be almost too ambitious.

Too ambitious. Okay.

Too ambitious. We might have too much for us.

So, here's what I want to talk about today. I want to talk about what is a Christian nation? Is America a Christian nation under any conceivable definition of the term Christian nation?

And then if we're going to be really ambitious, I want to answer a question that really is on I think a lot of people's minds and responsible for the sort of sense of urgency and emergency that a lot of people feel about being in a Christian in America right now and ask a question.

Is it easier or harder to be a Christian in America today? That's a lot.

Are we going to sneak in the existential nature of truth, goodness, beauty? Can we fit that in at the end?

Maybe for like a 10 minute bonus segment. How about that?

Okay.

Yeah.

So, that's an awful lot. But I think we're actually recording this on the on January 6th. It's going to upload on on Saturday, the 8th.

But I think it's a really appropriate topic because if you're talking about what was what was responsible for the sense of urgency and emergency that so many million with which so many millions of Americans approach the 2020 election.

And you're going to get into these questions because I think an awful lot of people thought and do think of America as a Christian nation.
