I’m Not a Christian Nationalist—I’m an American Nationalist Because I Follow Jesus

Over the past several years, one of the most controversial phrases in American politics has been Christian Nationalism. Depending on who you ask, the term now refers to everything from patriotism to theocracy, to racism, to authoritarianism, to simply displaying an American flag in church. The phrase has become so elastic that it often communicates more confusion than clarity. For that reason, I have largely stopped using it. So, let me be clear. No, I am not a Christian Nationalist. I am an American Nationalist precisely because I am a committed follower of Jesus Christ. At first glance, that may sound contradictory. It isn’t.

But guess what!? You are not alone! Too many of us are under the misconception that we have to have the answers for every question, every challenge to Christianity that could come our way. But not having the answer doesn’t mean you have failed, and it doesn’t mean that the answer isn’t out there. We are…

Why are so many Christians divided over Israel? And what does the Bible actually say about God’s promises to the Jewish people? This week, Frank welcomes Dr. John Ferrer and Pastor Jason Jimenez, recorded on site from CrossExamined Instructor Academy 2026 in Charlotte, NC, to kick off a two-part conversation on what they call the 4 I’s that Christians are struggling to think biblically about: Israel, Immigration, Islam, and Identity. In Part 1, they tackle the first two and answer questions like: What are the theological, moral, and political implications of how we approach Israel? What are the major views on the current state of Israel? Is God finished with Israel, or do His covenant promises still stand? What is the proper context of Romans 11 in regards to Israel?…
