Kingdom Citizen

This episode explores what it truly means to live as a citizen of God’s Kingdom. While there is beauty in our earthly cultures and value in celebrating our diverse backgrounds, we are called to view everything through the lens of our Kingdom identity. Our allegiance to God’s Kingdom comes first. Though we can appreciate and share in one another’s cultures, we must remain conscious that this world is not our ultimate home. As believers, we are not meant to feel fully settled here, as our true home is in heaven, and our lives should reflect that reality.

In this episode, we explore why earthly labels like race and ethnicity fall short of defining who we truly are. Drawing on history, Scripture and personal experience, we uncover how the idea of “race” was socially constructed, and why our deepest, most unshakeable identity is found in Christ alone. Discover what it means to live as a citizen of the Kingdom in a world full of unstable categories.

Listen to the audio version of my latest article ‘Truths Foretold: Rethinking National Identity’. I take a look at a world before borders drawn by colonisers. If we are to understand true national identity, we must look at the geography and landscape of a pre-colonial time.

This week, I launch a new series titled Truths Foretold, beginning with a closer look at the division between male and female, the only clear distinction God established within humanity from creation. In this episode, I explore the significance of this God-given division and unpack what it reveals in both natural and spiritual realms.

This week, I discuss how each ethnicity carries a unique history. While we all share a common ancestry as one human race, it is crucial to acknowledge the diverse struggles faced by ancestors from different cultural backgrounds. Some of these experiences were far more severe than others and continue to shape society today. Though colonisers often went out in the name of Jesus, God’s intention has always been to spread the gospel in peace.

This podcast explores how ethnic identity is not so much a rigid classification but more a reflection of the migration journeys taken by our ancestors. In this way, ethnicity tells a story of who we are, tracing the paths that have shaped our modern-day heritage.

This week I read my article ‘Race not Races’ . I explore why the concept of ‘races’ of people is scientifically unfounded. It actually denotes an outdated scientific racist agenda that was pushed forward by racist scientists to separate the human race into different species. Instead the concept of ‘ethnicities’ might provide a more accurate description of someone’s cultural heritage.
