For centuries Americans have valued their liberty, but a growing number of conservatives are now saying cherished values like the freedom of speech, religion, and the press have allowed progressive beliefs to destroy the culture. In response, some Republicans and conservative Christian thinkers argue it\u2019s time to abandon these failed American ideals and copy the fascist, illiberal strategies of leaders like Hungary\u2019s Victor Orban to stop immigration, fight wokism, and to ensure the government supports Christian beliefs.
Then, a new article about the separation of families at the Southern border brings Phil to tears, and he pleads with evangelicals to not allow Trump near the presidency again. Skye interviews Dr. Richard Mouw about his new book, \u201cHow to Be a Patriotic Christian: Love of Country as Love of Neighbor.\u201d They discuss godly versus idolatrous forms of patriotism, what the Bible says about the proper role of government, and debate whether churches should display flags and sing patriotic hymns.\xa0
