King Herod hears about a newborn King of the Jews. And like all despots, he wants to squash anyone who could be his political rival. This leads Jonathan and Seth to discuss contemporary politicians and their deep desire to remain in power. They discuss what this looks like when taken to the extreme and the way Jesus offers a different view of power that is not meant to be hoarded.

This episode also finishes our Advent and Christmas series on Christian Nationalism. We'll return during Lent with a new series that focuses on a new topic. Of course, we hope you enjoyed these episodes and will join us again starting on Ash Wednesday, February 22nd.
