Sinopse

As the next election season is quickly approaching, are you finding yourself wondering how to engage politically in the culture and with your congregation (or if you even should?) In this episode, we chat with author, teacher, and speaker Preston Sprinkle, about his new book, Exiles: The Church in the Shadow of Empire. We delve into the theological implications of exile, the historical context of the Israelite nation and its tribal identity, and the governance and economic systems of a nation. We explore the political implications of the early Christian movement, the challenges of planting a church in a political era, the divisive nature of mainstream news, and how to find a way through it that is true to the kingdom of God. Ways to find more from Preston: Website: prestonsprinkle.com. New Book: Exiles: the Church in the Shadow of EmpirePodcast: Theology in the RawConference: Exiles in Babylon 2024 News/journalism outlets recommended in this episode: The Pour OverAND Campaign &nb
