Curtis: The classic markers of this us are, you know, certainly Republican guns, a family, traditional values and mostly white. So that's the identity then the program is a almost a God empowered and a God ordained in a God mandated call to seize power to these was it seven or eight mountains? Curtis: An enormous amount of the argument that we have right now about American history is rooted in this visceral Christian nationalism.

For this episode, we rerun David and Curtis tackling the topic of Christian nationalism. What is it exactly? How does it relate to a genuine Christian understanding of how faith should relate to a nation? And how does it relate to our Founders’ intentions? Curtis and David also explore the nature of healthy patriotism and how to love your national home, warts and all.
