from Word of Life Church Podcast · host Pastor Brian Zahnd
In chapter 4 of Daniel we find the story of the king who went crazy -- the emperor who went insane.

But it's only the exiles who possess a counter-script and thereby can live outside the dominant script who perceive the insanity of empire.
