Should Christians Want America to Be A Christian Nation?

Should Christians want America to be a Christian nation? For many believers, even asking the question feels uncomfortable. In this episode, we wrestle with why Christians who genuinely believe Christianity is true and good have become hesitant about its influence beyond our churches and personal lives. Have we accepted a privatized version of faith? Have we learned to compartmentalize Christianity? Have we become so accustomed to seeing Christianity through the eyes of its critics that we now apologize for wanting Christian values to influence society? There is a difference between coercing someone to believe and seeking to influence the world with what we believe is true and good. If Christianity really is good for humanity, why wouldn't we want more of its influence in the world?
