About this episode
This episode explores the tension between God's eternal kingdom and the temporary empires of the world, using the book of Daniel as a guide for living faithfully in exile.
God’s people have always lived in the tension between two kingdoms—the eternal kingdom of God and the fading empires of this world. The book of Daniel gives us a bold vision of what it means to live faithfully in exile: to resist compromise, to stand with courage, and to trust God even when the empire seems to have all the power. This series calls us not just to survive in Babylon, but to shine.
