We've already learned that a strict separation of church and state just gives complete power to the secularist, atheist, communist Marxist.

So there needs to be a better balance, a better integration there.

And I think that's a conversation that more and more people are having kind of seen the last week, Steve, you know, this huge fight on on social media over, you know, is it wrong to say Christ is king?

The people find find this to be offensive in some way, and it shouldn't be at all.

This is a core, fundamental, central belief of Christianity, and it does have political and social implications.

So I think my short answer on that, Steve, is I'm a little bit.

concerned about the term Christian nationalism because of all the different versions of it.

But I'm, of course, not at all opposed with the historic Christian or Catholic understanding that there can be a proper, healthy integration of Christian moral teaching with the state.

Yeah.

I think the phrase Christ is King has been around since the year 33.

It's old, it's ancient, Christians have always believed it.

But what we've seen, Stephen, your audience knows this is,

You know, over the last 50 years, that the fact that any Christian would say something in public or pray in public or quote scripture or that a politician would make reference to their Christian faith is offensive.

We're told you keep your your your Christianity, your prayers, your Bible verses, you keep them at home locked away in the safe.

It's kind of like you have to be a closeted Christian.

In Christianity, if you want to believe that at home, it's fine, but don't bring it into the workplace, movies, television, politics.

And so I think the fact that Christians are on social media saying Christ is king, it's bringing about a response from the secular side that's offensive to them.

They're like, you can't say that.

And I think it's just part of the social conditioning.

And Christians are starting to realize that by saying Christ is king, that there's nothing wrong with it.
