People have often heard Christians say they are called to be “salt and light” in the world. But where does that phrase come from? What does it mean? How has its meaning changed over time?

And how does it reflect contemporary Christian nationalist understandings of “Christian America?” Dan tackles these questions in this week’s episode.
