Episode 1.9 The Kingdom of God

Jesus came to the world declaring the reality of the kingdom of God. What does that even mean? One way to think about it is in terms of the big story that Jesus invites us into.

To end Season 1 let’s discuss the stories we tell ourselves and what it means to live as part of the greatest story ever told.
