Have you ever wondered why the Bible says that Christians are aliens and strangers in this world? How can the Gospel spread through people without power in their land?

Our guest today reminds us that the Kingdom of God often operates silently and without notice but is never inactive.

Britt works to help believers like you understand just how counter-cultural the faith Jesus calls us to is and how beautiful a story it tells.
