City on a Hill

In this episode, we give seven reasons why we don't fly the American flag in our worship center.

In this episode, we finish our summary of Thomas Kidd's five ideas that connected religion to the American Revolution.

Our listener question last week prompted us to take a longer look at the religious issues surrounding the American Revolution. We found more than we even expected.

In this episode, we talk about the American Revolution and the Christian case for it. This is a fascinating question and one that we are only beginning to explore.

In this episode, we take a look at what it is that makes "A City on a Hill" such an attractive metaphor for the United States and why we believe the Church of Jesus Christ is the true light of the world.

In this episode, we take a look at the Beatitudes from the Sermon on the Mount. They stand alone as character qualities, but they also govern the way kingdom people engage the political sphere.

In this episode, we confront our expectations about what kind of world we live in. Do we expect to live in a world that is predominantly Christian, or a world that is foreign to the kingdom of heaven?

In this episode, we highlight some snarky Facebook posts by Christians (who should know better) and ask, how do you represent the kingdom of heaven on social media?

In this episode, we interview Chris Staron from the Truce Podcast. We discovered Truce when we were just getting started and looking for people who are doing similar work. Chris did a great series on the Cold War which we ask him about. He has looked at everything from property values to multi-level marketing to school prayer. Truce uses journalistic tools to look inside the Christian church to explore how we got here and how we can do better.

In this episode, we share some of the things that surprised us and that we learned as we dug into it. Some of it turned out to be personal and hit close to home.
