Description
"If you're surrounding yourself by the world, don't be real surprised when you have worldly problems and you try to solve them with worldly answers and you get in a big world of mess."
— Mike Sharman
Are you stressed out about government overreach, economic instability, and cultural shifts that seem to defy basic truth? It is easy to get caught up trying to solve these massive cultural issues with earthly tools, but the root problem is a case of mistaken identity. In this broadcast, Doug Apple and Mike Sharman take a look at the world from a biblical vantage point. Exploring the tragic story of a young woman misled by the medical system, the insights of C.S. Lewis, and the revolutionary mindset of America’s founders, they break down how Christians can live as true ambassadors of heaven. They also discuss a practical way believers are stepping away from worldly systems by changing the way they handle medical expenses.
Main points covered in this episode include:
-- Recognizing our true citizenship is in heaven, meaning Christians are called to act as ambassadors on earth rather than becoming consumed by worldly anxieties.
-- The danger of compounding cultural pain, illustrated by the medical system's failure to address root spiritual and emotional traumas in vulnerable youth.
-- Identifying the "Screwtape" strategy of the enemy, which seeks to neutralize believers by keeping religion boring, mundane, and strictly formulaic.
-- The power of a personal "Declaration of Independence" from worldly institutions, living instead under the laws and decrees of heaven.
-- A practical application of kingdom living through Share HealthCare, showing how believers can step outside of government mandates to support one another for a fraction of corporate insurance costs.
