What if the primary message of Jesus wasn’t personal salvation or the afterlife, but something far bigger—something present and active right now? This episode dives deep into the oft-overlooked theme of the kingdom of God, exploring what Jesus really meant when he talked about the kingdom over a hundred times in the Gospels. Discover why this message is still central today, how it changes our understanding of faith, and what it looks like to live as a citizen of the kingdom right where you are. If you’re ready to rethink what it means to follow Jesus, this episode will challenge and inspire you.
