Pledging allegiance to the American flag. Singing the national anthem. Voting. Being patriotic. Is there a place for these things in the Christian life? Buckle up because this one will probably offend everyone in some way (including Patrick!). In this episode, we welcome Preston Sprinkle back on the podcast to discuss his newest book, “Exiles: The Church in the Shadow of Empire.” Preston dives into the history of ancient Israel and explains how they postured themselves in relation to Babylon, the empire of the day. He uses this to explain why he believes Christians must live their lives as exiles, or sojourners, in the modern-day “empire” of America. Plus, why is this mindset so offensive to many of today’s evangelicals? And what is a true, biblical political view? Listen now!
