Summary

In this episode, Joel Webbon and Dr. Stephen Wolfe discuss the moral obligations of individuals towards their own communities and nations, emphasizing the importance of prioritizing kinship and local relationships.
They argue that while there is a Christian obligation to care for strangers, it should not come at the expense of one's own people. The discussion also touches on the principles of prudence in politics, the balance of generosity, and the role of scripture in guiding moral decisions.

0:00.0	Leave us a five-star review on your favorite podcast platform. I get it. It's annoying. Everybody
0:05.6	asks, but I'm going to tell you why. When you give us a positive review, what that does is it
0:10.8	triggers the algorithm so that our podcast shows up on more people's news feeds. You and I both know
0:17.2	that this ministry is willing to talk about things that most ministries aren't.
0:21.5	We need this content for the glory of God to reach more people's ears. All right, here we are episode five.
0:48.2	I'm Joel Webbin, and I'm here with Dr. Stephen Wolfe, and it's an honor and a privilege.
0:53.4	We're on episode five. We've been recording all day. So this is our last episode for today. And tomorrow, Lord Willing, we're gonna record the next five episodes. So you are tuning in with episode five of a 10-part series talking about Christian nationalism. And the last two episodes, I think we're bangers, if I do say so, myself. Yeah, I think we'll get on right-wing watch a couple times. Definitely. Yeah, I think we gave him plenty of content, those ladies over there. We talked about the juice. There's probably some males over there too, right, not just the... J-O-I-C-E, juice. We talked about that in our last episode, Israel and propositional nationhood and where
1:29.2	this kind of came from, this idea and problems with that. And we didn't, you know, we were, we were
1:34.4	hinged, but just spicy enough, I think. And so anyways, the last two episodes, we talked about
1:40.1	what is the nation? First two episodes, we talked about defining Christian nationalism.
1:46.7	But so we defined Christian nationalism and nationalism in the first two episodes. We tried to define
1:51.8	nationhood. What is a nation in episode three and four? Episode five now, we're going to talk about
1:56.8	not so much Christian nationalism, but what is a Christian nation?
2:02.1	Yeah.
2:02.4	What is a Christian nation?
2:04.2	Yeah. Yeah. There is a, there is a, there is a good question in this.
2:10.5	And there's a reason why I started off with, in the book, talking about the nation,
2:15.5	because I don't think, you know, the, I think the grace does not
2:19.0	destroy nature. So if there is a, this thing called nation, that is a natural thing, and its
2:24.3	components are fundamentally natural, then the question is, how does grace relate to that nation?
2:31.3	And I think it's a really, really important question because the tendency today among Christians
2:39.0	is to think that in order to form a political unity, or a political community that you'd call
