When Your Faith is Hijacked (Christian-Ish Series)

Christian nationalism is a growing threat to the integrity of the Christian faith, often blending political ideology with religious identity in ways that distort the gospel. Pastor Lee Jenkins challenges believers to recognize when their faith is being hijacked by cultural or political agendas and calls them to return to a Christlike, kingdom-centered life. Through biblical teaching and historical context, this message urges listeners to love Jesus more than any earthly allegiance.Verses:Galatians 1:6–7, Matthew 6:33Key Points/Topics Covered:Definition and dangers of Christian nationalismHow the gospel is being hijacked by political and cultural ideologiesHistorical examples of faith being misused for oppressionSigns your faith may be hijackedBecoming a kingdom-minded ChristianTime Stamps:00:00 - Introduction to the Christian-Ish Series03:45 - Definition of Christian-Ish and Series Overview07:30 - Reading from Galatians 1:6–710:15 - Explanation of Hijacking Faith14:00 - Introduction to Christian Nationalism20:30 - Historical Examples of Faith Misuse27:00 - Signs Your Faith is Being Hijacked35:45 - Pastor Lee's College Experience with Political Indoctrination42:00 - The Danger of Confusing National Success with Kingdom Blessing48:30 - The Call to Be a Kingdom Citizen53:00 - Characteristics of Kingdom-Minded Christians58:00 - Final Appeal to Love Jesus More Than Politics01:02:00 - Prayer and Invitation to Follow ChristMain Takeaways:- Christian nationalism is a counterfeit gospel that distorts the message of Jesus and misrepresents the kingdom of God.- Believers must be vigilant not to let political ideologies override their commitment to Christlike living.- A kingdom-minded Christian seeks first God's ways and reflects compassion, justice, and humility in all areas of life.Call to Action:Subscribe to the Eagles Nest Church podcast, share this message with someone who needs to hear the truth about Christian nationalism, and visit eaglesnestchurch.org to learn more about becoming a kingdom-minded believer.
