N.T. Wright on Politics, Jesus, and the Powers 

I wish we could have more of such discussions!!

Ooo, NT Wright... I haven't even listened yet but am giving a thumbs up like straight away 😆 Shane Willard got me onto listening to NT. Have not read NT's books yet but they are on the list to get to.

That 'powers and principalities' line was added later on.

Thank you for balancing out the volumes of your two mics! Tom Wright is soft spoken, many Podcasters stab me in the ears when trying to listen to an interview with him

I would LOVE to see N.T. Wright and Bart Ehrman have a two hour discussion on the kingdom of God because it seems to be what originally tripped up Ehrman and started moving him away from trusting Jesus.

Plenty of truth to speak to power in Emperor Trudeau's Canada!

And they said unto him, "Do you do children's parties ?" And the Lord said, "No". But they did press him and said, "Give us another one !".

It seems to me that John the Baptist, (whom Jesus called the greatest man born among women and likened him to Elijah), set a great example of what a prophetic ministry looks like in politics. Herod was an evil man who did great harm to his enemies and to his nation. John the Baptist did not tell Herod off. He simply told him that having his brother's wife was sin, that it was wrong.
