We are Americans best when we are not Americans first.
In this special Fourth of July episode, Russell revisits conversations with Ken Burns, Eddie Glaude Jr., Michael Luo, Jon Guerra, Yuval Levin, Sharon McMahon, and Jon Meacham to ask what faithful citizenship looks like in an anxious and divided age.
Guests in these conversations explore America’s founding, its failures, the difference between patriotism and nationalism, the place of immigrants and strangers, the danger of political idolatry, and why Christians must resist both cynicism and sentimentalism.
If our ultimate citizenship is in the kingdom of God, perhaps that’s precisely what frees us to tell the truth, love our neighbors, and seek the good of the country we’ve inherited—with gratitude, humility, and hope.
