What happens when our desire for comfort and security pushes us to place our faith in political power? This episode of Seek Go Create dives into the complex relationship between God, country, and the pursuit of safety, exploring how nationalism and comfort theology can blur the lines between spiritual allegiance and political loyalty. Discover why elections often feel like spiritual battles and what it truly means to engage in public life without losing sight of the kingdom that cannot be shaken. If you’ve ever wondered where your deepest security comes from—or questioned the way faith and politics intertwine—this conversation is for you.

"Comfort theology creates demand for protection. Nationalism defines what must be protected. Politics promises the power to protect it." - Tim Winders
