Image-Bearing and Human Agency in the World

Has Christian nationalism gone too far? In this lively yet thought-provoking conversation, we explore the tension between faith and politics, the role of the church in society, and how cultural challenges shape the way Christians embody the teachings of Jesus. From examining controversial trends like the rise of extreme Christian nationalism to unpacking theological nuances such as cruciformity and the kingdom of God, this discussion invites listeners to wrestle with what it means to live faithfully in a complex world.

With humor, personal stories, and deep theological insight, the hosts tackle questions like: How should Christians navigate cultural issues without compromising their witness? What does justice look like in a society shaped by competing wills? And how do we maintain humility and curiosity in the face of divisive ideologies?

We encourage you to join the conversation—email us your thoughts or engage with us on Instagram and Facebook. Let's continue to pursue a faith that reflects the heart of Jesus in a world that desperately needs it. Your voice matters as we explore these crucial questions together!
