## Resource

Today On The Eric Metaxas Show, Eric talks with Daniel Darling about his book In Defense Of Christian Patriotism and why Christians do not have to choose between loving God and loving their country. They discuss gratitude, ordered loves, America’s founding, civic duty, the dangers of cynicism, and why patriotism is essential if the republic is going to be preserved. Eric also speaks with Todd Chatman from Christian Solidarity International about freeing slaves in Sudan, and later talks with Papa Tom Clark about fatherhood, America’s covenant roots, and the May 17th rededication of the nation to God.
