Conversations about Christian nationalism often become heated—but many people aren't actually using the same definition.
In this clip, Lindsay Medenwaldt explains three common ways the term is understood, why definitions matter, and how the conversation intersects with NAR (New Apostolic Reformation) theology and the idea of theocracy.
For those recovering from spiritual abuse or high-control religious environments, these conversations can feel especially significant. When political identity, national identity, and spiritual authority become tightly intertwined, it can become more difficult to ask questions, evaluate teachings critically, or distinguish biblical convictions from institutional or cultural agendas.
In this clip, you'll learn:
The three common definitions of Christian nationalism.
Why asking, "What do you mean by that?" is an essential first step.
What a theocracy is and why it matters to this discussion.
How these ideas relate to NAR theology.
Why clarity and discernment help protect against spiritual manipulation.
Healthy faith invites thoughtful questions, careful definitions, and a commitment to seeking truth—not fear or confusion.
