On this, the 6th of July, 2022, we declare our interdependence on God and decide to pledge allegiance to no flag and no king but Christ! We at least have a great discussion about what it means for us to be a part of a political system and trying to take our faith seriously amidst the complexity. Josh recites the pledges to the Christian flag and the Bible. Stephen renounces all patriotism outright. Emily debates discipleship.
