Join us for a powerful conversation with Eric Metaxas, a renowned author and speaker, as we explore the profound intersection of faith and patriotism on the CityLight Church podcast. We start by looking at Eric's steadfast commitment to biblical truths amidst societal pressures and how his immigrant background shapes his unique perspective on American freedoms and opportunities. Hear firsthand about the profound sacrifices made for liberty and the gratitude many immigrants feel towards this nation.   We continue our discussion by examining the miraculous aspects of Christianity, from dramatic conversion experiences to deliverance from spiritual darkness. Eric shares compelling insights from his influential books, "Letter to the American Church" and "Religionless Christianity," underscoring the significance of having a personal relationship with God beyond intellectual understanding. This episode offers a deep dive into the supernatural manifestations of faith and their implications for believers today.   We emphasize the necessity for Christians to participate in political processes, advocate for values aligned with God's purposes, and understand that faith without action is dead.  Stay connected with CityLight Church and be inspired by our community and teachings.   For more information and resources, visit www.citylightnyc.com  (00:00) The Power of Faith and Patriotism(09:01) Experiencing God's Miracles and Speaking(23:08) The Call to Stand Against Evil(30:46) The Role of Politics in Christianity(41:41) Connecting With City Light Church
