Episode 12 - Should We Fight for a Dying World?

Derek, Paulo, and Mark Episode 12

Parts of the Bible suggest that things will only get worse before they get better - think conflicts, injustice, and lawlessness. However, Scripture also tells us that we ought to be stewards of the earth and God's agents for the Kingdom on earth. But if things are doomed to decline, what is the point? Join us as we try to find a response in this episode. We talk about Tolkien, bringing down the capitalist system, and how to live practically as Christians with regards to all this.
