Politics & Power | Prophets, Kings, and The People | Pt 1

Peace | The Podcast

Sep 10 2024 • 37 mins

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?
