What if the Kin-dom Jesus proclaimed was never meant to be captured by power, enforced by law, or protected by violence? In this episode of Creation’s Paths, we sit with the unsettling claim that the Kin-dom is not a thing to be seized but a way of being that endures even under domination. This is a reflection on spiritual sovereignty, inner freedom, and how life remains green and alive even in narrow places. Come listen for the freedom that cannot be taken from you.
