Really interesting conversation! Y’all talking about being scared of labels like “Christian Nationalism” reminded me of Matthew 5:10-12. “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.”

Yeah when y'all mentioned trying to reclaim and redefine the term "Christian Nationalism" to remove some of the negative connotations, it reminded me of the mission of Nerd Nation. We're trying to remove negative connotations from "nerd." Nerds are experts, not geeks. We want "nerd" to be a compliment, not an insult or derogatory term. It sounds like the same thing may need to be done to Christian Nationalism.

This was great. Dr. Hall's thoughts on Christian political engagement, Christian Nationalism, and religious freedom were so welcome-very different from the high volume stuff (in quantity and…volume…) I encounter from opposing sides of the coin on Twitter, etc. Thanks for bringing this conversation to us!
