It's commonly said that absolute power corrupts absolutely. How then should Christians think about power? What about Christians who aren't just disempowered, but also marginalized and oppressed? Dr. Dennis Edwards has written a new book that extolls Christians who have found themselves on the margins of society because of their background, identities, and/or experiences to tap into the power of the Gospel that is already present and available within them. Kyle and Dr. Edwards talk about the nature of power, Christianity's relationship with power, and what it looks like for marginalized Christians to seek Christ and work for justice while fighting oppression and marginalization in their own lives. A prescient conversation for these tumultuous political times, be sure to check this episode out!
