It’s In the Code Ep. 100: “If My People Who Are Called By My Name…” (Bradley Onishi and Daniel Miller; Straight White American Jesus podcast)

“If my people, who are called by my name, humble themselves, pray, seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.” 

If you’ve encountered this invocation, it’s almost certain that you’ve encountered it in the context of American Christian nationalism. 

You might know it’s a verse from the Bible, but where does it come from? What is its full context? Does it mean what the Christian nationalists seem to think it does? Does it really justify their theocratic vision for America? Dan tackles all these issues in this week’s episode.
