Conversations That Matter

Three Reformed Evangelical ministries recently addressed political questions during election year 2024. Topics like Christian Nationalism, voting, the church's political involvement etc. were all addressed. Jon reviews Mark Dever, Jesse Johnson, and Ligon Duncan's opinions about church/state relationships and Christian political involvement. Note: Jesse Johnson did give a presentation at Shepherd's Conference this year on Christian Nationalism but it has not been released yet. The presentation I critique is from Feb 3, 2024 but is the same talk that Johnson gave at Shepherd's Conference 2023. #ChristianNationalism #ShepherdsConference #TheGospelCoalition #9Marks00:00:00 Introduction00:12:24 9 Marks: How Should Christians View the Government?00:20:33 (Same Presentation at Shepherds 2023): "Coveting Cesar's Throne: The Case Against Christian Nationalism"01:32:21 TGC: What Does It Mean to Be a Christian Nationalist?Our Sponsors:* Check out Mars Men: https://mengotomars.comSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/conversations-that-matter8971/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
