## Resource

Can an entire nation repent—or is repentance only for individuals? In this episode of The Magistrate, James Baird and Josh Howard examine one of the most overlooked questions in Christian political theology: Does God hold nations accountable for their actions? Drawing from Scripture, church history, and the Reformed tradition, they explore how God dealt with nations such as Nineveh, Babylon, Egypt, and Israel, and whether modern nations still bear moral responsibility before Him. Are nations capable of righteousness, rebellion, blessing, judgment, and repentance? What does this mean for Christians living in the modern world? Topics include: • National repentance • Corporate guilt and responsibility • Biblical political theology • The Great Commission and the nations • Reformed views of church and state • God's judgment of nations • Christian citizenship and civil government Subscribe for weekly conversations on theology, church history, culture, and the relationship between Christ's Kingdom and the nations.
