Summary
n the past several weeks we have seen two examples of high-profile evangelicals who have criticized the positions of Christian Nationalism. In Particular, John MacArthur and Owen Strachan both argued that it is impossible for a nation to be ‘Christian’, and argued that God’s kingdom is primarily spiritual. Both of these arguments fail to understand what Christian Nationalism claims. In particular they miss these two points. First, that Jesus himself, not the church, has already won the earth by his obedience, death, and resurrection, and is therefore entitled to all of its spoils. Second, that though Christ’s kingdom is not OF this world, it is definitely present and spreading throughout all of it. These two examples show how, yet again, the evangelical church is largely responsible for the crisis that the west is in. Tune in now as we try to correct the record and offer a victorious path forward.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome. In the past several weeks, we have seen two examples of high-profile evangelicals who have criticized the positions of Christian nationalism. |
| 0:12.6 | In particular, John MacArthur and Owen Strann both argued that it is impossible for a nation to be Christian. |
| 0:23.9 | And they argued that God's kingdom is primarily spiritual. Both of these arguments failed to understand what Christian nationalism |
| 0:29.6 | actually claims. In particular, they miss these two points. First, that Jesus himself, not the church, |
| 0:36.8 | has already won the earth by his obedience, |
| 0:39.9 | death, and resurrection, and therefore Christ himself is entitled to all of its spoils. Second, |
| 0:47.6 | that though Christ's kingdom is not of this world, his kingdom is most certainly in this world, and it is presently spreading throughout |
| 0:57.0 | all of this world. These two examples show how yet again the Evangelical Church is largely responsible |

| 1:31.5 | All right, gentlemen, good afternoon. |
| 1:32.9 | Glad to be with you again today. |

| 1:41.9 | Christian nationalism will be efficient and waste no time. |
| 1:42.6 | Fair enough. GA. |
| 1:44.0 | G. Can't keep track. We're talking Christian |
| 1:48.1 | nationalism today, which for some of our viewers might seem like a bit of a retread because, |
| 1:53.7 | Joel, you were actually part of the statement on Christian nationalism, which I think can be |
