Season 3, Episode 1: Ten Theses on the Church, Family, and State

Welcome to season 3! I wanted to begin this season with an overview of crucial relational components that help us think more clearly about how spheres interact. Here are the first five: a) Each sphere possesses distinct responsibilities and hierarchies (Church, Family, and State). b) The Church is the headquarters since it is fundamentally Edenic in symbols and types. c) Roles may overlap, but they should be fundamentally distinct. d) The Church should speak into the civil sphere because she is the mouthpiece of the kingdom. e) The Church cannot impose ordinary habits and rituals upon families outside her formal gathering. Note: I will be in Monroe, LA speaking at the Christendom Lectures from January 9-11. Here is the registration link: https://redeemertwincities.org/christendom
