Summary

Why are Christians facing so much hostility when we speak up on political issues? Simply advocating for life in the womb or opposing far-left agendas like Marxism and "gender-affirming care" often gets us labeled as "Christian Nationalists." Should we let this backlash silence us or propel us to become even more outspoken?This week, our good friend and fellow Christian apologist, Natasha Crain (https://natashacrain.com/), joins Frank at the annual CIA (https://crossexamined.org/what-is-cia) apologetics workshop to discuss some of the key ideas in her signature book, 'Faithfully Different (https://a.co/d/f6u1qun)', as well as give us a sneak peek into her upcoming book, 'When Culture Hates You: Persevering for the Common Good as Christians in a Hostile Public Square (https://a.co/d/3AyfChB)', scheduled to be released in March 2025. Natasha will share her insights on why people make certain decisions and uncover the hypocrisy of claiming that Christians should avoid hot-button cultural issues in the public square. During their discussion, Frank and Natasha will answer questions like:* Is it appropriate to label all Christians as "Christian Nationalists"?* How does the Bible define the concept of the "common good" differently from society?* How has CRT impacted the political climate in America and the embrace of Islam?* Are atheists more qualified to run the country than Christians?* How do you respond when people make statements like "there is no Christian party"?This podcast episode reminds us that Christians are called to fulfill both the Great Commission and the Cultural Commission—even if it means facing scrutiny. Don't allow today's cancel culture and religious intolerance to convince you that "staying in your lane" equates to avoiding political topics. Being faithful Christians (and apologists) gives us grounds to make a difference in the culture, so let this special CIA episode encourage you to keep standing for truth!To view the entire VIDEO PODCAST, be sure to join our CrossExamined private community (https://community.crossexamined.org/).
