In this conversation, Glenn Sunshine discusses the relationship between Christians and politics. He explores different views on Christians' involvement in politics and highlights the importance of living in the kingdom of Christ while also living in the world.

  • 95. Traces of Defeatism: A Critique of Amillennialism | A Practical Postmillennialism Series.

    In "Traces of Defeatism," I examine how some of the interpretations and assumptions in amillennialism act like trace elements of poison in the Church's bloodstream, subtly undermining our mission by instilling a defeatist mindset. I argue for embracing a postmillennial perspective, which I believe empowers us to actively engage and transform culture, reflecting a more victorious outlook on God's kingdom and our role within it.

  • 90. A Practical Postmillennialism (Part 1)

    For far too long, eschatology has been avoided by Christians because it seems esoteric, overly heady, and not that applicable to our lives! In this series, we will look at why postmillennial eschatology will make us happier, more optimistic Christians. We will look at how it will make us more successful men, women, children, parents, workers, and worshippers. And we will do so with a fair amount of smiles and snark. Join us each week as we defeat defeatism and unpack a robust Biblical case for Kingdom optimism!

    All hail King Jesus!

  • 88. Merry Christmas. This Means War!

    "He was bringing war because this old world had fallen into bitter, soul-crushing slavery to an evil dragon. A serpent of great beguiling who tricked our only king into trading in his scepter for over-tight handcuffs... His crown for rusty chains. On that first Christmas morning, after legions of failed men who came before Him, the heaven-sent God-Man was born the royal Man-King. Delivered as a helpless babe to deliver and set the helpless free."
