“To me the essence of being a radical is being willing to subject one’s inherited traditions and conventions to biblical scrutiny … A lot of our personal security is found in our convictions; we develop a personal stance and find our security in it, and then when anybody disagrees we feel threatened.”
~ John Stott
The world is dying for men and women who are burning. Not for a cause, but for a Person and His kingdom: The Lord Jesus Christ.
Thankfully, many who are part of The Insurgence Podcast Community are on fire. They are a people fiercely devoted to Jesus and His kingdom.
America is in crisis right now, and crisis exposes our hearts and what we really believe.
Recently, I made this statement on the Insurgence Facebook Page:
To profess Jesus is Lord is to renounce nationalism AND globalism. When the true gospel of the kingdom is proclaimed, it outrages the progressive left and infuriates the conservative right.
As a result, I was asked these 5 questions:
* What is nationalism and why is it contrary to the gospel of the kingdom?
* What is globalism and why is it contrary to the gospel of the kingdom?
* Why would the gospel of the kingdom anger the progressive left since they are for the least of these and the poor?
* Why would it upset the conservative right since the kingdom message calls for repentance from immorality, abortion, etc.?
* I’m seeing a lot of hatred coming from Christians, the same as people in the world over politics and social issues, and I’m appalled by it. Can you speak to this?
Denzel and I addressed all 5 questions on the 73rd episode of The Insurgence Podcast, which just released.

If you have a question you would like me and one of my regular guests to answer in an upcoming episode of The Insurgence Podcast – questions that we haven’t already covered in previous episodes – post it in the comments.
Stay safe, stay sane, stay true.
