Becoming Church is where we explore how the message and movement of Jesus isn’t just about becoming Christians, it’s about becoming something bigger - the kind of church the world actually needs. Hosted by Kristin Mockler Young, this podcast dives into the surprising ways faith shapes, and is shaped by, our real lives: family, politics, justice, culture, and beyond.

    Christian Nationalism: How Christianity Got Off Course

    Christianity is shaped by a mix of things: culture, time, leadership, politics, media and personal experience. But somewhere along the way, one specific expression of Christianity went off course and became a new thing, Christian Nationalism.   If you’re unsure about what Christian Nationalism even is, this episode will help you understand how it’s an off-shoot of Christianity. If you’re looking for language on how to talk with family members about this combination of faith and politics, this episode will provide you with language and resources that will help you stand confidently in your beliefs while also navigating those relationships. This is an important conversation for all Americans right now, even if you’re not a Christian, because it’s a political movement that is changing and creating the country we live in.   Thank you for doing the first step of listening to learn. My prayer is that God will reveal your next step - whether it’s in continued education, advocacy or joining the fight with your voice. I also encourage you to keep learning from the accounts and additional interviews below:   ADVOCACY GROUPS: LKN Troublemakers (local to Charlotte) Red, Wine & Blue (Find your city to make good trouble)   ADDITIONAL EPISODES ON CHURCH & POLITICS: Now What?
