Pastor, author, and theologian David Ritchie was my guest to discuss his book Why Do the Nations Rage?: The Demonic Origin of Nationalism. We discussed the similarities in our work, the research behind it, and where our approaches differ. If the demonic realm is tied in with state power, how should Christians relate to politics and the state? Tune in to hear our distinct answers!
David A. Ritchie was born and raised in the West Texas wilderness city of Amarillo, where he serves as the Lead Pastor of Redeemer Christian Church. He holds degrees from Amarillo College, West Texas A&M University, and Reformed Theological Seminary. You can find him on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and at his personal website.
