Ep. 163 Preston Sprinkle - Living Faithfully in the Shadow of Empire

Mar 5, 2024

In this episode, Preston Sprinkle and I have a great conversation around being exiles in the shadow of the empire. He wants us to know that this nation that we are living in – no matter what nation in the world it is not my primary political identity – the Kingdom of God is. The church is a political entity itself. We dive into Romans 13, examples of the church being faithful to Jesus while taking up causes for the flourishing of the community, how Israel was designed to be upside down to the kingdoms of the world, and how Jesus subverts power. We talk about how the Kingdom of God transfers power from money and might to weakness and sacrifice and how turning the other cheek is one of the most powerful things we can do. So join us as we discover how to be faithful exiles in the shadow of the empire.

New York Times bestselling author Dr. Preston M. Sprinkle has written more than a dozen books. He serves as the president of the Center for Faith, Sexuality & Gender and the host of the Theology in the Raw podcast. His latest book is Exiles: The Church in the Shadow of Empire.
