Great sermon. African American churches have been praying for our White brothers and sisters to understand that Nationalism in the church is not of Christ. Thank you for telling the truth.

[MunkyandPuma]

As an atheist, I have to admit, we need more Christians like this man speaking.

[everthealtruist]

In 34 years of living in the religous south, this is the first truly Christian sermon I've ever heard.

I’m a Muslim I’m also a Palestinian I grew up on my ancestors land in what became Israel until I was forced to migrate. I have an Israeli passport. I now live in the USA .I have countless Christian and Jewish friends from back home and the US.
I Have Seen It All. Your words are an elixir to my crushed soul. Assalamu Alaikum everyone ( peace to all)

"Christian nationalists are more committed to the love of power, than to the power of love"
That's powerful 🙌

[Sassywonderlady]

Haven't gone to church for years. Stopped listening to organized religion after years of seeing the hate and greed that permeates the church. I have found a person who sees Christ as the Bible presents Him. Thank you sir.

[janetcollamer]

I've never heard this distinction between Christianity and Christian Nationalism spoken more eloquently! Thank you!

[jellyrollnorton]

Hallelujah! Watching this young man speak gives me hope for the future.

[JeferonConor]

Muslim here and I am in awe at your wisdom, I wish we had an imam like you to deliver such a sermon about the dangers of Islamic nationalism.

[laceybabay]

I grew up southern Baptist. I’m now an atheist, but I could have listened to this for hours. This is how I saw Jesus as a kid. Love.

[annrupley]

As a Christian appalled by Christian Nationalism, this message is so on target. Thank you, thank you for articulating so well that this destructive movement has NOTHING to do with Jesus' teachings, and everything to do with these people's corruption of the faith.

[chombymusic]

Ive been longing to hear a Christian message like this. Thank you.

[petdaddy]

I've been a pastor for 25 years, and it's draining watching people misuse the good news of Christ to justify hate. Your words have actually restored some hope in me. Thank you.

[toddleva]

Every Christian church in America needs to hear this.

[byronmcmillan]

I am a veteran and a former pastor at a mega church in the South. I walked away from evangelical Christianity and embraced an engaged contemplative life, and I have not been able to listen to a Christian sermon for the past seven years.

I listened to this one and stand with every word this brother speaks. I’m in awe of his clarity and bravery in the face of Christian Nationalism and I pray for more leaders of faith to stand with him.

[BJ-zvnl]

Thank you for standing up for American ideals while supporting your faith. It's very appreciated in these times.

[Changeirksme]

As a Mom of an LGBT boy who passed away from a heart issue, this brought tears to my eyes. This is how churches should have treated him. How the Christian people we know should have treated him and our family. This is beautiful.

[dzzzzz]

I am a Buddhist and this is a message of truth no matter what your faith is. Thank you!!! Like and share so we can get this out to everyone that gets on this platform!

[donovanhendricks]

Speaking as a black Pastor, this gives me hope, powerful sir, you are going to make a great preacher for sure, all the best in seminary.

[AnyAmericanMom]

Thank you for this Sermon! They hijacked my Religion and I want it back. We need to clean house! Thank you and Sharing! 🌺
