This week we are reading Daniel chapter 3 - a story that seems for a while to be moving in the direction of an over-the-top, cartoon worthy adventure, until you get to the utterly arresting, mic-drop statement of faith planted somewhere in the middle. We wonder: In an environment where loyalty to the king has been conflated with loyalty to the king’s god, what does it mean to live a life faithful to your god and still within the boundaries of the society where you find yourself? Could Shadrach, Meshach and Eved-nego have de-escalated this conflict? Should they have? And how sure were these guys that they were going to come out of that furnace okay?
