About this episode
Are Christians becoming useless in today's world? Craig teams up with Zachary Gomez, a theology whiz who also fixes houses, to shake up what you thought you knew about Jesus and taxes.
They rip apart the famous "render unto Caesar" line. Spoiler alert: It's not about paying your taxes! Instead, it's a sneaky jab at people who love the government too much.
Here's what you'll get in this episode:
Jesus's real take on being a good citizen (it's not what you think!)
How modern churches are getting cozy with the state (and why that's bad news)
Cool ways Christians can team up and make the government irrelevant
Zachary's got wild stories about trusting God and helping neighbors that'll make you rethink everything. He's pushing for a Christian revolution - small groups taking care of each other so well that food stamps and welfare become old news.
This isn't your grandma's Bible study. It's a call to arms for Christians to flip the script on how they deal with the government and each other. You'll leave this episode fired up to change the world, one neighbor at a time.
Don't miss out on this game-changing conversation. Tune in and learn how to make the state obsolete through the power of love, service, and good old-fashioned community spirit. It's time to give God what's His - everything we've got!
