Ideas Have Consequences Made to Live: The Good News of the Kingdom of God | Dwight Vogt
Episode Summary:
Jesus talked about the Kingdom of God continually. In contrast to “church,” which is only mentioned twice, “kingdom” is mentioned over 120 times in the gospels. So why do we treat the Kingdom like it barely matters?
In this episode, we sit down with our former co-host, Dwight Vogt, to discuss his newest book, Made to Live: The Good News of the Kingdom of God. Starting in Genesis 1, Dwight shows how the Kingdom is the unifying thread of Scripture and the key to understanding both the gospel and human purpose.
We explore a simple framework for a kingdom which includes a king, realm, subjects, and the king’s will, and wrestle with big questions: If Jesus has all authority, why does evil still persist? What does “my kingdom is not of this world” really mean? And what does it look like to live under Christ’s reign today?
From work and leadership to family and justice, this conversation shows how God’s Kingdom touches every part of life. If your faith has ever felt disconnected from the real world, this episode will equip you with clarity and a passion for life.
