As America approaches its 250th anniversary, many Christians are wrestling with important questions. Is patriotism biblical? What’s the difference between healthy love for your country and Christian nationalism? Can believers celebrate America while keeping their ultimate allegiance to King Jesus?
In this episode of Truth Changes Everything, Dr. Jeff Myers sits down with pastor, author, and TPUSA Faith Senior Director Lucas Miles to explore what Scripture says about patriotism, citizenship, and the Christian’s relationship to America.
Together, they discuss:
- The difference between biblical patriotism and Christian nationalism • Whether Christians should celebrate America’s 250th birthday
- How pastors can address patriotism without becoming political
- How parents can teach children gratitude for America without idolizing the nation
- Why citizenship in God’s Kingdom should shape every other allegiance
- How Christians can think truthfully about America’s strengths and failures
Whether you’re a pastor, parent, or simply wondering how Christians should engage America’s founding ideals, this conversation offers a thoughtful, biblically grounded perspective on faith, freedom, and faithful citizenship.
