Is the world ultimately transformed through the voting booth, or through a people who faithfully live out the "strange" teachings of Christ? Do Christians need governments to enforce God's standards, or is a holy, set-apart life sufficient?

What comes to people's minds when they think about you? Your politics? Your opinions? Your accomplishments?

Or do they think of Christ?

If your life points more clearly to a kingdom other than to the Kingdom of God, it may be time to ask where your true priorities—and your true allegiance—lie.

Join the guys as they explore what it means to pursue holiness, redefine success, and faithfully represent Christ in a world with very different values.

Because the best conversations happen after class.

Can a Christian faithfully serve both their country and the Kingdom of God? Or, when push comes to shove, must one always come first?

Jesus said, "No one can serve two masters." But what if your nation's values appear to align with God's? Can patriotism and discipleship coexist? Where does your ultimate allegiance belong?

Building on last week's discussion, the guys explore one of the most challenging questions Christians face today: the Kingdom of God versus the kingdoms of this world. Scripture teaches that followers of Christ are citizens of another Kingdom—one that often stands in tension with every earthly nation.

How should Christians think about nationalism, patriotism, political identity, and loyalty to Jesus?

Join us as we wrestle with this timely and thought-provoking conversation.

Continuing last week's conversation, we explore how God's set-apart people are to relate to the nations.
Israel was forbidden from making alliances with the nations, and its way of life stood in stark contrast to the surrounding cultures. Kings, prophets, and priests each served a unique role in advancing God's purposes.
But that was then. This is now.

Did Christ's fulfillment of the prophecies overturn the Old Testament trajectory? Under the lordship of Jesus, what has changed, and what has remained the same, and what does that mean for us today?

Did Jesus walk the hard road so we could have an easy one? Or are we called to follow the example of our King?

Tune in today to find out.
