Dr. Greg Boyd sits down with the ‪@reparadigmed‬ Podcast to discuss Christian nationalism, the misinterpretation of faith in political actions, and the urgent need for a genuine Christian witness that transcends violence and political ideology. Our discussion sheds light on the historical misunderstanding of a 'Christian nation,' critiques the fusion of faith with political power, and calls for a return to the authentic teachings of Jesus Christ. Through examining the pitfalls of cultural Christianity and advocating for a radical, love-based approach to living out our faith, Greg challenges both the church and individuals to reevaluate their role in society. This critical exploration of faith, power, and the path to true kingdom citizenship is one that the evangelical church in America desperately needs today, as much as it did 20 years ago when Greg wrote The Myth of a Christian Nation.
