Episode Details

In this episode of the Based Boomer Podcast on the EM Network, Mike De Virgilio examines the true meaning of the Great Commission in Matthew 28 and asks a question most modern Christians never consider: What does it actually mean to “disciple the nations”?

Exploring the Greek word ethnē, this conversation tackles whether Christ’s command extends beyond personal evangelism into culture, government, law, education, and society itself.

Can nations be discipled?

What would a truly Christian civilization look like?

And why has much of the modern Church abandoned this vision?

This episode dives into:

The meaning of “all nations” in Matthew 28

Christianity and cultural transformation

The relationship between Church and nation

The myth of “private faith”

Eschatology and the future of Christian civilization

Why modern evangelicalism shrank the Great Commission
