Exploring the political implications of a Jesus-centered theology.
Christian Nationalism has revealed itself to be alive and strong over the past several years, perhaps no more than on January 6, 2021 when Jesus 2020 banners and crosses were on display at the insurrectionist storming of the Capitol. With a new President coming and Christian Nationalism on full display, how can disciples of King Jesus continue to be faithful over the next few years? Mentioned in this podcast: - Was Antifa at the Capitol on January 6? - What is Christian Realism? - Trump's speech at the Save America Rally on January 6 - Restorative Faith Check out Asher's podcast, Unfeigned Christianity, where he has risky conversations that help make sense of the world. or Titus' That Jesus Podcast where he and his co-host Dru explore what it means to be a radical apprentice of King Jesus.

How do Christians pursue justice? Through politics? If not--if we're not going to run for office, put forward legislation, or even vote, how then do we participate in bringing the Kingdom of God to earth? In this episode, Christopher sits down with church-planter Matthew Milioni to talk about Kingdom Politics, justice, and his journey toward non-violence and Christo-Anarchism.
