  • Jon Huckins - “ A Personal Journey Toward Conflicted Allegiance"

    What does it mean for a Christian to be a patriot? How should the Church relate to the nation state, especially one as powerful as the United States?


    In this episode, Jon Huckins shares two ways Christians often approach politics and then offers a third way he calls ‘a conflicted allegiance.’

    At this critical moment in our nation’s history, we as the people of Jesus must pledge our allegiance first and foremost to the Kingdom of God. The only proper allegiance as US Americans is a conflicted one, allowing the values of the Kingdom to guide us and, at times, put us in opposition with our government as we vote, debate, and find a way forward together.

About Mending Divides

From the publisher's feed

How do you handle the real-world conflict in your life? Most of us were never taught how. So, this season, Mending Divides isn’t a show about conflict. It’s a collection of stories from people who were actually inside it. The moment their convictions got tested, their fears got exposed, and something in them had to change. These aren’t polished success stories. They’re honest accounts of what conflict costs, what it reveals, and what becomes possible when you do the slow, courageous work of healing instead of winning.
