Episode notes

20 years of the launch of arguably one of the most successful public health initiatives in the history of the world. It was launched under a Republican president, it's been continued under presidents of both parties ever since. And again, I think that, you know, just to echo what you were saying, that kind of thing is a sign of hope. We have passed the point where we can do really great things.

What does it look like to have Christian hope in this chaotic world?

As believers, we live in the “already but not yet,” which means that we are currently in the kingdom of God, though the kingdom has not reached its full expression. In other words, we are “already” in the kingdom of God, but we do “not yet” experience its full glory.

In this Advent episode, David and Curtis look back at the challenging year and look for signs of the “coming Kingdom” so that listeners can “read the signs of the times”-- in a way that is both Biblical and hopeful – and live in the anticipation of God’s justice, restoration, and glory.
