S5 EP:10 Christian Nationalism with Dr. Paul Miller

With some ardent supporters, very vocal detractors, and many left in-between, the ideology of Christian nationalism has become a topic of much debate. Particularly within an election year, asking how Christian should engage within a political life, is the continued work of theological exploration. On today's podcast, Aaron discusses Christian nationalism, what it is, what is is not, and what it should not be for Christian, with Dr. Paul Miller.
