Leave us a five-star review on your favorite podcast platform. I get it. It's annoying. Everybody

asks, but I'm going to tell you why. When you give us a positive review, what that does is it

triggers the algorithm so that our podcast shows up on more people's news feeds. You and I both know

that this ministry is willing to talk about things that most ministries aren't.

We need this content for the glory of God to reach more people's ears. All right, here we are episode two. Now, I am with Dr. Stephen Wolfe. And in this episode

as promised, if you watched the first episode, first episode,

if you missed it, it was a banger. If I do say so myself, we talked about Aristotle and

how we hold him above the scripture. I'm just kidding. But we talked about the value of Aristotle

and some of the jabs towards Aristotle being silly and talked about why that's important and why all the

reformers quoted Aristotle. And then we talked about propositional nationhood. We talked about

grace, not destroying nature. We talked about a lot of things, I think, that are integral to

understanding this series as a whole. But at the end of the episode, we promised, because we didn't get to in the first, that we would come out of the gate defining nationalism and Christian nationalism. So here we go.

All right. I'll try to remember it. So I have a long version, and then I have the short version. So the long version first.

It's, so I say Christian nationalism is a totality of national action consisting of civil laws and

social customs conducted by a Christian nation as a Christian nation in order to procure for itself.

It's earthly and heavenly good in Christ. So that's the definition of Christian nationalism,

and I'll break it down in a moment. And then for my definition of nationalism is really the same

thing, minus the in Christ part. And that's because I think that nationalism, as I define it,

is something natural. So it's going to, a nation as such is going

to seek its good. And that's what we see in history. I think that's also philosophically grounded.

And with nationalism, you still, though, if I'm remembering correctly, if I correct like,

that's what Ricky Bobby, I think, would say. But if I'm remembering correctly, I think you still say to procure it's both earthly and heavenly good, but just without the in Christ.
