259 - Brian Zahnd, Politics in Light of God’s Kingdom

Summary: John Mark McMillan and Joey Svendsen enjoy their time with Pastor and Author Brian Zahnd, asking him a little about everything. What does Brian Zahnd think of the POTUS and if asked, would Brian serve on his spiritual advisement board? Brian Zahnd believes strongly in the church. He points out the problems with both the Christian right and left, highlighting how Jesus wouldn’t serve either of their agendas; because frankly, He has his own. The church is a part of the world that's “already changed by Christ.” Until we let this sink in, Zahnd concludes that Christians will continue to seek hope in what their political party can accomplish, these accomplishments having nothing to do with the more important Kingdom work we are to value above all. Brian and John Mark have an interesting take on why many artists are disinterested in politics. And of course, we get into some theology: atonement theories, Christian universalism, the gospel in its fullness.
