Many of us learned Matthew 6:33 as children in Sunday School, where Jesus urges his followers to seek the Kingdom of God first, above any earthly kingdom (or empire, as my guest today calls it). 

The truth is, we’re all being formed by something. As followers of Jesus, we want the Word of God to form us so our lives reflect and display a Kingdom mindset and ethic. 

So what happens when the lines get blurred between our faith and politics, between our fear and our faith? Today’s episode encourages us to live a cruciform life in a world that is discipling us to do anything but take up our cross.
