The Worst Kind of Freedom

Dediticii of the State, Paroikoi of the Kingdom:

On Christian Nationalism, False Freedom, and the Pilgrim Church

There is a freedom that sings loudly and yet is already in chains.

There is a freedom that waves a flag, quotes a verse, demands a prayer in the public square, and calls itself holy. There is a freedom that speaks the name of Jesus with one breath and the language of domination with the next. There is a freedom that insists it is under threat whenever the neighbor is also allowed to breathe, speak, worship, live, vote, belong, or flourish. And that freedom is no freedom at all. It is fear dressed in patriotic robes. It is anxiety holding a Bible. It is the oldest lie of empire baptized in civil religion.

Christian nationalism is built upon that lie.

It says, “We must take the nation back.”
It says, “We must restore Christian order.”
It says, “We must defend our way of life.”
But underneath all of its grand language is a smaller and sadder confession: we do not trust the way of Jesus to be enough unless Caesar kneels beside him. And once the church begins to think that way, it has already bent the knee to another throne.

That is why the old Roman word dediticii has such prophetic force here. In Roman usage, deditio was surrender, and dediticii were those marked by that surrender, those living under the terms of a conquering power; in later Roman legal usage the term could also refer to people whose liberty was degraded, curtailed, a kind of freedom beneath full belonging. What a terrible phrase that is for the church to deserve: not merely conquered, but living in the illusion of liberty while shaped by the chains of empire.

And that is the tragedy of Christian nationalism. It imagines itself strong, but it is surrendered. It imagines itself sovereign, but it is already owned. It imagines itself defending the faith, but it has accepted the terms of a lesser kingdom. It seeks power in the way Rome seeks power, order in the way empires seek order, peace in the way fearful nations seek peace: through threat, hierarchy, exclusion, privilege, and force. It calls this righteousness. It calls this prudence. It calls this realism. But the gospel calls it what it is: temptation.

For every freedom built on another person’s diminishment is already a form of bondage.

If I can only feel secure when someone else is excluded, then I am not secure.
If I can only feel righteous when someone else is silenced, then I am not righteous.
If I can only feel free when someone else is less free, then I am not free.

I am merely protected by a cage large enough to mistake for a kingdom.

This is the bitterest irony of all: those who would limit the freedom of others in the name of preserving their own eventually discover that they, too, have become servants of limitation. They must constantly patrol the borders. They must always be on the lookout for enemies. They must keep watch over books, bodies, ballots, classrooms, pulpits, prayers, and pronouns. They must nourish grievance. They must cultivate suspicion. They must remain forever agitated because domination cannot rest. The soul that clings to supremacy must live in permanent alarm. And so the one who promised freedom becomes the custodian of fear.

That is why this is not merely a political error. It is a spiritual deformation.

Christian nationalism is not simply bad analysis. It is bad discipleship. It is the church forgetting what kind of people it is. It is the church forgetting that Jesus did not seize Rome; Rome seized Jesus. It is the church forgetting that salvation did not come through occupying the governor’s palace, but through faithfulness unto death. It is the church forgetting that Pentecost did not create a purified nation but a multilingual people. It is the church forgetting that the Lord’s Table is not bordered by tribe, race, party, passport, or patriotic myth. It is the church forgetting that Christ rules from a cross before he is confessed in glory.

And when the church forgets these things, it becomes available for conscription.

It can still sing.
It can still preach.
It can still quote scripture.
It can still say “Lord, Lord.”

But it begins to sound less like the Beatitudes and more like a millstone. Less like the prophets and more like the court. Less like the crucified and more like Pilate washing his hands while the machinery of death carries on.

Against all this, the New Testament gives the church another word, a better word: paroikoi. The term carries the sense of strangers, sojourners, resident aliens, people dwelling near but not fully at home in the order around them. In 1 Peter 2:11, believers are addressed in precisely that way, as “foreigners and exiles,” those whose lives in the world are real but not reducible to the world’s claims. And Paul, in Philippians 3:20, gives the church its political center of gravity: “our citizenship is in heaven.”

There is the contrast.

Dediticii are defined by surrender to imperial terms.
Paroikoi are defined by faithful dwelling without ultimate belonging.

Dediticii live under the dictates of the conqueror.
Paroikoi live under the promise of God.

Dediticii accept diminished freedom as though it were normal.
Paroikoi know that their life comes from another commonwealth.

Dediticii are shaped by subjection.
Paroikoi are shaped by pilgrimage.

The church is called to be paroikoi, not dediticii.

The church is called to dwell in the world, bless the world, serve the world, weep with the world, labor for justice in the world, and seek the welfare of the city; but it is never called to worship the city, confuse the city with the kingdom, or surrender its conscience to the rulers of the age. It is called to be near without being possessed. Present without being absorbed. Public without becoming idolatrous. Loving without becoming captive. The church does not need to dominate in order to be faithful. The church needs to remember who it is.

And who is it?

It is a baptized people, not a blood-and-soil people.
It is a Eucharistic people, not a nationalist people.
It is a Pentecost people, not a monocultural people.
It is a cruciform people, not a triumphalist people.
It is a resurrection people, not a fear-governed people.

That is why Christian nationalism is so dangerous. It does not merely propose a flawed strategy. It offers the church a false identity. It tells Christians they are landowners of a sacred nation rather than pilgrims of a holy kingdom. It tells them they are guardians of civilization rather than witnesses to Christ. It tells them their task is to possess the machinery of rule rather than embody the mercy of God. It tells them the neighbor’s difference is a threat rather than an occasion for love. It tells them anxiety is wisdom. It tells them domination is stewardship. It tells them privilege is providence.

And many believe it because it flatters the flesh.

It flatters the longing to be secure without sacrifice.
It flatters the longing to be righteous without repentance.
It flatters the longing to be powerful without being crucified.
It flatters the longing to call coercion conviction and call fear discernment.

But Christ does not flatter the flesh. Christ calls the church to die.

To die to supremacy.
To die to tribal vanity.
To die to the dream of holy violence.
To die to the seduction of being chaplain to empire.
To die to every flag that asks for what belongs only to God.

The church must hear this plainly: when it reaches for power by limiting the lives of others, it does not become more itself. It becomes less. When it seeks freedom through exclusion, it does not enlarge liberty. It redistributes bondage. When it blesses structures that narrow the humanity of the neighbor, it nails its own soul to those same structures. That is the judgment hidden inside the word dediticii: those who think they have secured their place have, in truth, surrendered themselves to a power that can only give them the worst kind of freedom.

But the gospel still offers another way.

Be paroikoi.
Be pilgrims.
Be resident aliens of grace.
Be people whose identity papers are issued in heaven.
Be people who do not need Caesar to certify the lordship of Christ.
Be people free enough to bless without ruling, to serve without controlling, to witness without seizing, to love without fearing.

For our citizenship is in heaven.
And because our citizenship is in heaven, we are finally free on earth: free to tell the truth, free to defend the vulnerable, free to refuse idols, free to reject every gospel of blood and soil, free to stand with those whose liberty is threatened, free to be neither conquerors nor cowards.

The church does not need a Christian nation.
The church needs Christian faithfulness.

The church does not need the illusion of greatness.
The church needs the courage of holiness.

The church does not need to become the soul of the state.
The church must become again the body of Christ.

So let the nations rage. Let the parties boast. Let the demagogues preach their frightened liturgies of invasion, purity, and control. The church must not join their choir. The church must remember its name.

Not dediticii of the state.
But paroikoi of the kingdom.

Not surrendered to empire.
But dwelling in hope.

Not the keepers of a lesser freedom.
But the witnesses of the all-encompassing liberation of Christ.

Shivered – Chains Review

By Lavender Larcenist

Not much is more metal than having to put your life on the line to play the music you love. For Iranians, that is an everyday reality, forced to play underground or flee their home country for fear of persecution. Metal is considered blasphemous (hell yeah) in Iran, and the most famous example of a band suffering under these draconian laws is Confess. I imagine Mohammad Maki, the one-man band that is Shivered, has to struggle with these same challenges. A concept album focused on the end of humanity through collective mass suicide probably isn’t making anyone happy who takes umbrage with metal’s dark themes and brutal nature. But that is exactly what Maki has served up with a heaping helping of gothic doom, a little bit of death, and a whole lot of atmosphere. Under such strenuous circumstances, is Shivered able to deliver a concept album worth risking life and limb with Chains, or will it be doomed (heh) to solitary confinement?

While single-member bands are somewhat common in metal, Mohammad Maki is putting on a show with Shivered. Clean vocals, deathly howls, drumming, piano, bass, production, and guitar are all delivered by Maki, and outside of a couple of featured musicians and a few blemishes with some overly ambitious high notes that he can’t quite reach with his clean range, every element feels tight and polished. Even the production is properly cavernous, serving the haunting atmosphere that is pervasive throughout Chains. No matter what your opinion of the music is, Maki is clearly a talented and driven musician.

Talent aside, Chains is firmly rooted in the school of gothic death/doom purveyed by bands like Paradise Lost, but it leans into the clean side of things, with Maki delivering a majority of the vocals in a high-pitched, ghostly drone. This is likely where listeners will either stick with Chains or drop it entirely. Maki’s voice suits the material; his heavily accented, almost lullaby-esque singing adds to the ethereal ambience of this dark concept album, but a few notes prove too difficult, and at times his voice feels at its breaking point, like on “Human Parasite”. Despite these flawed moments, I found something alluring about Maki’s singing, and his odd pronunciation and unique sound grew on me with repeated listens, making even simple phrases into earworms in ways I didn’t expect entirely due to their delivery.

Chains does suffer from repetition, and while I like what Shivered is putting down, each track follows a similar formula. Grand doom riffs open the track and lead into melodic piano backings with spectral vocals. I kept wishing for Chains to let loose and put the foot on the gas, which it finally does towards the end of the album, which is the strongest part of the record. “Rebirth in Wrath” ends with an all-out death metal assault, and I wish Maki would lean into the harsh vocals more. “Hanging Bloom” features female vocalist Julie Orwell, and it turns the track into an epic duet between Maki and Orwell. I hope to see Orwell return, or even better, become a consistent member of Shivered. Maki and Orwell make for a great team between their different vocal styles, and he leans into the funeral doom with his rasping, harsh vocals on the track. Outside of a few tracks in the back half of the album, Chains doesn’t ever quite open up, but the album is consistent and satisfying across its fifty-two-minute runtime. It would be served by cutting five minutes from the album here and there, but no individual song is a weak point.

Chains is an album that immediately hooked me when I booted it up, but as it continued, it grew more formulaic. Surprisingly, the more I listened, the more I grew to enjoy what Maki was going for with this dour concept album. It may have grown predictable, but in the vein of many great metal bands, the one song that Shivered does; it does well. Chains is full of big riffs, some light Paradise Lost and Katatonia worship, and a heaping helping of atmosphere. The singular talent of Mohammad Maki grounds all of this. If you are on the hunt for some satisfying death/doom with a focus on melody, you can do much worse than Chains. Shivered is on the cusp of true greatness, and with a little bit of editing, the next album may break free.

Shivered – Chains Review

By Lavender Larcenist

Not much is more metal than having to put your life on the line to play the music you love. For Iranians, that is an everyday reality, forced to play underground or flee their home country for fear of persecution. Metal is considered blasphemous (hell yeah) in Iran, and the most famous example of a band suffering under these draconian laws is Confess. I imagine Mohammad Maki, the one-man band that is Shivered, has to struggle with these same challenges. A concept album focused on the end of humanity through collective mass suicide probably isn’t making anyone happy who takes umbrage with metal’s dark themes and brutal nature. But that is exactly what Maki has served up with a heaping helping of gothic doom, a little bit of death, and a whole lot of atmosphere. Under such strenuous circumstances, is Shivered able to deliver a concept album worth risking life and limb with Chains, or will it be doomed (heh) to solitary confinement?

While single-member bands are somewhat common in metal, Mohammad Maki is putting on a show with Shivered. Clean vocals, deathly howls, drumming, piano, bass, production, and guitar are all delivered by Maki, and outside of a couple of featured musicians and a few blemishes with some overly ambitious high notes that he can’t quite reach with his clean range, every element feels tight and polished. Even the production is properly cavernous, serving the haunting atmosphere that is pervasive throughout Chains. No matter what your opinion of the music is, Maki is clearly a talented and driven musician.

Talent aside, Chains is firmly rooted in the school of gothic death/doom purveyed by bands like Paradise Lost, but it leans into the clean side of things, with Maki delivering a majority of the vocals in a high-pitched, ghostly drone. This is likely where listeners will either stick with Chains or drop it entirely. Maki’s voice suits the material; his heavily accented, almost lullaby-esque singing adds to the ethereal ambience of this dark concept album, but a few notes prove too difficult, and at times his voice feels at its breaking point, like on “Human Parasite”. Despite these flawed moments, I found something alluring about Maki’s singing, and his odd pronunciation and unique sound grew on me with repeated listens, making even simple phrases into earworms in ways I didn’t expect entirely due to their delivery.

Chains does suffer from repetition, and while I like what Shivered is putting down, each track follows a similar formula. Grand doom riffs open the track and lead into melodic piano backings with spectral vocals. I kept wishing for Chains to let loose and put the foot on the gas, which it finally does towards the end of the album, which is the strongest part of the record. “Rebirth in Wrath” ends with an all-out death metal assault, and I wish Maki would lean into the harsh vocals more. “Hanging Bloom” features female vocalist Julie Orwell, and it turns the track into an epic duet between Maki and Orwell. I hope to see Orwell return, or even better, become a consistent member of Shivered. Maki and Orwell make for a great team between their different vocal styles, and he leans into the funeral doom with his rasping, harsh vocals on the track. Outside of a few tracks in the back half of the album, Chains doesn’t ever quite open up, but the album is consistent and satisfying across its fifty-two-minute runtime. It would be served by cutting five minutes from the album here and there, but no individual song is a weak point.

Chains is an album that immediately hooked me when I booted it up, but as it continued, it grew more formulaic. Surprisingly, the more I listened, the more I grew to enjoy what Maki was going for with this dour concept album. It may have grown predictable, but in the vein of many great metal bands, the one song that Shivered does; it does well. Chains is full of big riffs, some light Paradise Lost and Katatonia worship, and a heaping helping of atmosphere. The singular talent of Mohammad Maki grounds all of this. If you are on the hunt for some satisfying death/doom with a focus on melody, you can do much worse than Chains. Shivered is on the cusp of true greatness, and with a little bit of editing, the next album may break free.
