Second Sunday after Pentecost (Year A) - 6/7/26

Christian Nationalism has, unfortunately, not gone away since Jonathan and Seth discussed it last on the podcast. It grew slowly, insidiously, for years and will take similarly sustained work to prune it from religious and political spheres. In this episode, Jonathan and Seth do a close reading of Psalm 33:1-12. They argue that it is a particularly strong starting point to critique Christian Nationalism. And they discuss briefly the ways that pastors have been complicit in blurring Christianity and American democracy.

We're glad you're with us! You may have had enough of Christian Nationalism, because you've heard us talk about, have to live with it's effects in your everyday life, or came from a church background heavily steeped in. We do not mind if you skip this episode; we hope you'll put yourself first and only listen if you have the bandwidth.
