How should Christians think about patriotism and love for one's country in balance with love for Christ and His kingdom? Toph and Jed discuss this huge topic in today's episode, arguing for some practical applications as well.
This was an early attempt at recording. It's actually the very first episode we ever recorded. Hopefully, the sound quality, and content quality, has improved since then and will continue to improve; but we wanted to share this discussion with you.
If you're interested in learning more about these issues, or perhaps are discouraged at the foreignness of some of these topics, we recommend the following resources.
Political Church, by Jonathan Leeman, has significantly shaped our understanding of these issues — https://amzn.to/31lTj0x.
Politics According to the Bible, by Wayne Grudem, is a helpful reference for Christians just wading into the topic — https://amzn.to/31ntygv.
Bastion Magazine (https://www.bastionmagazine.com/magazine?utm_source=termon) is a phenomenal journal on politics, culture, history, philosophy, economics, and literary and social criticism from a standpoint of traditional conservatism and Austrian economics.
