Episode Details

In this Star Wars-laced deep dive into Matthew 8, we explore the surprising faith of a Roman centurion who shocked Jesus Himself and everyone else around Him. What does it mean when the empire bows to the Kingdom? In this episode we talk about: Why Jesus was amazed by a Gentile's faith and what it says about insiders vs. outsiders How sacred authority differs from oppressive control What a modern-day centurion might look like Why submitting to Jesus doesn’t erase our identity What it costs to follow Jesus instead of empire in 2025 Whether our churches look more like the Kingdom… or a sanitized version of it And how fear might be quietly uninviting people from our tables
