The conversation explores power, institutions, and the church's role. It distinguishes between coercive, worldly overpower and godly, persuasive underpower, discussing the church's need to address power and cultural conditioning. The guests question power's legitimacy and the role of Jesus and the Holy Spirit in redefining it, touching on power in the Old Testament and its interpretation. The discussion concludes with reflections on grounding power in resurrection and the kingdom's role. Abe and Brad discuss institutions as both beneficial and abusive, perspectives on Christ and culture, suffering, character formation, and the need for institutions to be subservient to God's kingdom and guided by the Holy Spirit.
