All His Church - Ep 4

Anchored in Psalm 1 and the image of the tree planted by streams of water, Chris opens with the story of Woolworths — a 100-year retail titan that became Foot Locker — to frame a meditation on what happens to power that ignores God's law. Prompted by a video his mother texted him of students staging a school walkout over the treatment of immigrants, Chris walks through Deuteronomy, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Matthew, and Hebrews — showing that God's law on the treatment of foreigners and sojourners is one of the most repeated commands in all of Scripture. The episode closes with his mother's own eyewitness account of the 1963 Woolworth's lunch counter sit-in in Jackson, Mississippi, drawing a direct line from that day to now and asking whose Law and Order we are actually enforcing.
