“The church doesn’t exist to win. It exists to be faithful.”

During the Tri-State CBF Assembly in Chattanooga, Daniel Holcomb and Dr. Carol Crawford Holcomb invited attendees to explore Christian nationalism through the lenses of history, theology, and faithful resistance.

Together, they reminded participants from Alabama CBF, Tennessee Cooperative Baptist Fellowship, and Cooperative Baptist Fellowship of Georgia that our call isn’t to seek power, but to practice love, humility, and justice.
