Lean In | Mixing Faith & Politics

Revelation, spiritual warfare, and how Christians should live in a polarized world — in this episode, we work through Revelation 12 and what it teaches us about our true enemy, Satan, and how believers are called to respond.

We unpack the imagery of the red dragon, Satan’s rebellion and fall, and the reality of spiritual warfare — then move from theology to practice: what it looks like to love enemies (Jesus’ radical, nonviolent examples), to mourn faithfully, to pray for one another, and to model unity in a divided culture. We also respond to recent political violence and media outrage, calling listeners to grieve, to shine Christ’s hope, and to be faithful witnesses even as the world grows darker. Plus: a look ahead to next Sunday — Revelation 13 and the two beasts (an “unholy trinity” with the dragon).
