THE AFTERWORD: Philippians - Week 3

Title: THE AFTERWORD | Philippians - Week 3

Description:

As children of the 80s, things have changed *quite a bit* in the realm of civic politics for David and Jay. We chat about how changes in technology have shifted the way that people engage with politics - and how that’s not always for the better. We talk about what it means to follow Paul’s instructions in Philippians 1 to “live as citizens of the gospel of King Jesus.” And finally, we discuss author Kaitlyn Schiess’s book “A Liturgy of Politics” which says that the modern political/news machine sends a number of messages to us, including:

• The Prosperity Gospel (money is what’s really most important)

• The Patriotic Gospel (requires uncritical allegiance to one party - or one country)

• The Security Gospel (candidate so-and-so will keep you safe from harm)

And then we talk about how the Gospel of Jesus confronts each of these, and often, upends them.

Speakers: David Tieche + Jay Kim
