Summary

In today’s episode, Seth tackles the question everyone’s afraid to touch: Christian nationalism. Is the church called to “just preach the gospel,” or does Christ’s lordship extend to culture and politics too? Is Jesus Lord of all—or only inside church walls? Pastor Doug Wilson joins Seth to unpack the theology, history, and controversy surrounding Christian nationalism, what’s really happening in Moscow, Idaho, and whether America was ever meant to be reclaimed as a Christian nation.
