Politics & Power | The Cross and The Sword | Pt 5

Peace | The Podcast

The Bible is an incredibly political book. From kings and their kingdoms to prophets speaking truth to power. From a God who liberates the oppressed to a Jesus killed on a Roman cross. What might the stories we find in Scripture be inviting us into this fall?
