Feeling overwhelmed by today’s divisive climate and the pull towards political extremes? I spoke with artist-pastor Steve Thomason to dive deep into his insights connecting the good news of Jesus’ story to our modern “shadow of tyranny.”
We explore how Jesus navigated intense conflict, challenged power structures non-violently, and offered us a profound “third way” beyond the endless cycle of retaliation – a path centered on listening, humility, and radical love.
