Between the 4th of July, America's 250th anniversary, and a world cup on home soil, patriotism is in the air. But is that a good thing? Should Christians be patriotic? What's the difference between patriotism and idolizing our country? Those are the questions I'm wading into in this video, guided by St. Thomas Aquinas, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, and St. Augustine.
