Kevin Withem enjoys an incredible three-episode conversation with Michael Burns about his book titled "Escaping the Beast: Politics, Allegiance, and Kingdom." This is an important book for our current time in history.

In this book, Michael Burns addresses these issues head-on. He lays out a comprehensive examination of the scriptural worldview of the kingdom and how that calls us to approach our discipleship and our place in the world. He then considers the role of nations and the politics of the nations and where the kingdom of God stands in those domains. He then examines the more practical elements of how a Christian community should navigate through the murky waters of worldly politics and specific issues. His goal is not to provide absolute answers but to show how we might work our way through difficult and thorny topics with a kingdom-minded approach.

Please enjoy this important conversation.
