Joe Boot

Christian theologian P. Andrew Sandlin and theologian Joe Boot discuss Christian nationalism, exploring the connection between nations and religious covenant. They emphasize the importance of re-Christianizing the world and discuss the concept of Christian nationalism and its various expressions. The speakers also discuss the influence of the Puritans on theology, politics, and America's founding, highlighting their teachings on salvation, sanctification, sociology, and political thought.

Dr. Joe Boot, a Christian apologist and author, joins Michael Thiessen, a pastor and chief of operations at the Ezra Institute, to discuss the importance of Christians engaging in public discourse. They argue against a privatized faith and emphasize a unified Christian mindset for cultural engagement. Topics include the implications of rising demographics in the UK, the challenges of youth retention in churches, and the need for a robust kingdom vision. Joe also introduces his book, Think Christianly, as a philosophical guide for faithful living.

Joe Boot, founder of the Ezra Institute, champions Kuyperian sphere sovereignty, advocating for a structured approach to church and state relations. In contrast, Joe Rigney from New St. Andrews College defends the classic two kingdoms perspective, emphasizing natural law. They engage in a lively discussion about the distinct roles of family, church, and state under God’s law and critique the implications of civil authority in religious matters. The conversation navigates the complexities of justice, heresy, and the challenges of maintaining faith in a post-Christian society.
