Mentoring: The Gift of Hope

The Kingdom in the Midst of You! – Rise Up! with John Kowalski

We spend so much time and effort (and rage) defending the nation. Do we ever expend such energy and passion in defending or promoting the Kingdom of God? What does that say about our faith? I know I am consistently disappointed with the balance between nation and kingdom in my life. I thought, maybe we just don't understand the Kingdom. So, in this episode I look to the Bible to answer some big questions. What is the Kingdom of God? How do we gain citizenship to this Kingdom? Once we are citizens, what is expected of us? When will all of this happen? After dealing with all of that I debunk some secular claims about citizens of the Kingdom, or maybe I agree with them…to a point. I take their shallow accusations that we are intolerant, judgmental and exclusive and I go deeper to find the truth in them.  References     The Bible (Various versions)  — Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/john-kowalski/message
