In this episode, we explore the story of Saul’s descent into fear-driven violence in 1 Samuel 22 and contrast it with the faithful resistance of those who upheld God’s values over loyalty to power. Through the lens of “true patriotism,” we examine the dangers of Christian nationalism and the call to cruciform love. Listeners are invited to consider what it means to live as citizens of the Kingdom of God in a world still caught in us-vs-them thinking.
