Labels can influence and manipulate cultural and political narratives. In this episode, Greg and Tanya discuss the complex interplay between language, culture, and Christianity, particularly the recent use of the term "Christian Nationalism" is being used to shape public perception toward Christians negatively.
"Christian nationalism" is a term recently used by various media and political entities to cast Christianity in a negative light, associating it with extremism or societal discord. Such labeling is a strategic effort to control language and, by extension, control how people perceive and react to Christian values in the public sphere.
Christians need to understand and engage with, not retreat from, these dynamics to counteract misinformation and maintain the integrity of their faith in public discourse. The podcast serves as a call to action for listeners to critically evaluate the information they consume and to understand the deeper implications of the words and labels used in political and cultural discussions.
