Racism has been an elephant in society's room for a long time, but we can't get rid of it by simply wishing it away or ignoring it. Its undeniable existence and destructive impact demand an answer — one that will pursue healing. Tag along with us as we explore with Anthony Lyder how a citizen of the Kingdom of Heaven responds to racism.

As we discussed in episode 7, it doesn’t take much to realize that our society rests on a foundation of fear and self-centeredness that unavoidably leads to conflict and heartbrokenness. Along with Pastor Kris, we explore an alternative Kingdom, one based on self-giving love that births a wonderfully different kind of community. The Kingdom of Heaven!

As we slowly see our way out of this pandemic, we eagerly look forward to the ‘new normal’, which seems to be little more than a sanitized normality. But was our normal that good? Did our way of life produce the results we hoped for? Is the kingdom of men as great as we make it to be? Join our friend Pastor Kris as we begin our two part conversation by seeing through the shine and glamour of our society.

If you have been adulting for more than a day or two, you are acquainted with the constant feeling of hurry and the ever present pressure to deliver. The way we live seems to have reduced us to mere production machines, required to deliver ‘the goods’ as quickly as possible, in all areas of life. But is that the life we dreamed of while growing up? Is that the life we were created to live? Is there a different, and better, way to do life? Join us and Levi Smith, kids pastor and coffee lover, as we look for answers!

We kick off Season 2 with a discussion on the idea that violence can be redemptive and that the good life is only available to those who take it by force. We look at what politics, Cobra Kai, and Marvel Avengers superheroes have in common in light of this idea. Is it really possible to cancel out violence with more violence or is there a more powerful force that influences our pursuit of a better life?
