Tell Me More About... America | Tell Me More About | Dr. Trent Langhofer - Teaching Pastor

How should followers of Jesus think about America, freedom, patriotism, and politics? In this Fourth of July weekend message, Dr. T teaches through what it means to love our country while keeping Jesus first. In this Fourth of July weekend message, we look at freedom, biblical citizenship, the foundations of justice and human dignity, and why Christians are called to salute the flag but surrender to the cross.
