    9. Insurrection, Christian Nationalism, and Where Do We Go from Here?

    Christian Nationalism has revealed itself to be alive and strong over the past several years, perhaps no more than on January 6, 2021 when Jesus 2020 banners and crosses were on display at the insurrectionist storming of the Capitol. With a new President coming and Christian Nationalism on full display, how can disciples of King Jesus continue to be faithful over the next few years?   Mentioned in this podcast:  - Was Antifa at the Capitol on January 6? - What is Christian Realism?  - Trump's speech at the Save America Rally on January 6   - Restorative Faith Check out Asher's podcast, Unfeigned Christianity, where he has risky conversations that help make sense of the world.   or Titus' That Jesus Podcast where he and his co-host Dru explore what it means to be a radical apprentice of King Jesus.

    8. How Christians Should Participate in Politics: Matthew Milioni

    How do Christians pursue justice? Through politics? If not--if we're not going to run for office, put forward legislation, or even vote, how then do we participate in bringing the Kingdom of God to earth? In this episode, Christopher sits down with church-planter Matthew Milioni to talk about Kingdom Politics, justice, and his journey toward non-violence and Christo-Anarchism. Resources mentioned in this podcast: Dial 911: Peaceful Christians and Urban Violence by Dave Jackson The Anatomy of a Hybrid by Leonard Verduin  Christus Victor Gustaf Aulén Politics of Jesus by John Howard Yoder* Faith and Wealth by Justo L.

    3. Should Christians Try to Change Laws?

    If all violence is wrong, why didn't Jesus and John the Baptist tell soldiers to quit their jobs and find a new occupation? Should Christians take part in trying to change the laws of a country? And were guys like William Wilberforce, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, and Martin Luther King, Jr. doing the right thing by using politics to change culture? We discuss this and more on third episode of The Third Way podcast. EPISODE MUSIC The Brilliance, "Brother"

    1. What is "The Third Way?"

    In our inaugural episode, we lay some basic groundwork for what we mean by "the third way" and why we think following Jesus has such huge political implications.  We clarify problems we see in the terms non-resistance, non-violence, and radical love. And Asher brings up Titus' infamous belief in "Christian Anarchy," which freaked us all out.  Welcome to The Third Way Podcast.
