Confronting Christian Nationalism - Part 1 with Rev. Dr. David Rice

Christian nationalism is a growing issue in the U.S., raising
important questions about the relationship between faith and
politics. 


How does our faith shape the way we engage with political issues?
And are our political allegiances influencing our faith in ways
we may not realize?


While we’re certainly not a news or political network, this is a
timely and necessary conversation. Power—both religious and
political—can be used to bring about justice and healing, but it
can also be wielded in ways that cause harm.


In the first episode of a two-part conversation, we're joined by
Rev. Dr. David Rice, an alumnus of The Seattle School and Digital
Strategist for BJC, where he leads online engagement and the
Christians Against Christian Nationalism campaign. 


David begins by sharing his personal story—how his upbringing,
ministry experiences, and cultural influences shaped his
understanding of faith and politics. He also speaks to the
challenges pastors and faith leaders face when addressing
national issues from the pulpit, often being accused of being
“too political.”


We invite you to come back next week for part two of this
conversation as David, Dan, and Rachael dive deeper—defining
Christian nationalism, exploring our collective longing for
control, and considering how we can engage with our communities
in meaningful ways.
