Our goal should be to live by a constitution that feels too good to be true - a set of rules and principles meant to guide us into a flourishing life. Sadly, this often seems impossible in a world so far from such a system. 

In this installment of the “Setting the Table” series, Bryan and Matt dig deep into The Kingdom Constitution, navigate the tension between our earthly reality and the upside-down, joy-filled kingdom of God. 

The problem is clear: many of us are living in the "empire" of this world, struggling to trust institutions like the church and government, while yearning for the transformative power of God's kingdom. But how do we live out these radical, counter-cultural principles of God's kingdom in a world that feels broken and disillusioned? 

This episode invites listeners into the challenging yet liberating process of learning to live under God's rule - a journey that promises joy, creativity, and intimacy with the Holy Spirit.

1. Trust in Institutions is Declining: The church and government are losing credibility, but God's kingdom offers a trust that transcends human failure.

1. “Joy is not something you manufacture. The joy of the Lord is our strength - it’s His joy, and it comes to us through union with Jesus.” – Bryan Elliott
