Empire State of Mind

About this episode

Derek and Andy discuss the implications of Christianity in an Empire and the concept of cultural shifts.

Derek wonders about what the Gospel is when Christianity is formed in an Empire. Andy dusts off the works of an obscure scholar who saw history as separate times of First, Second, and Third Culture. And Fourth Culture is on the way whether we like it or not. Our call-in line is open! Call us at ‪(612) 405-8071‬ to leave a question for a future episode!
