We meet a wild man in the wilderness of Judea proclaiming, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near." We're joined by Luther House of Study's Lars Olson, who teaches us the definition of repentance and what it means that the kingdom of heaven *has already* come near. 

Repentance happens to you. You are repented. Encountering God's kingdom completely changes your life. Since God's kingdom has already come, this is not a call to get your life right. 

Lars teaches Adam, Kiri and Mason what it means to bear good fruit and how that actually happens in our day-to-day life. 

Adam, Kiri, and Mason ask:

• What does repent mean? 
• Does a tree decide where to bear fruit?
• What is a good work?
