As the next election season is quickly approaching, are you finding yourself wondering how to engage politically in the culture and with your congregation (or if you even should?)
In this episode, we chat with author, teacher, and speaker Preston Sprinkle, about his new book, Exiles: The Church in the Shadow of Empire. We delve into the theological implications of exile, the historical context of the Israelite nation and its tribal identity, and the governance and economic systems of a nation. We explore the political implications of the early Christian movement, the challenges of planting a church in this particular political era, the divisive nature of mainstream news, and how to find a way through it that is true to the kingdom of God.

Soul Care Summit
This year's Soul Care Prayer Summit is happening April 22-24 up at Quaker Hill in McCall. The Summit is for men and women who serve as leaders and missionaries in the Treasure Valley. This is a space created for you as a visionary leader to hear from God and care for your soul–and it's not just for pastors. It's for anyone who has a vision for kingdom transformation in their sphere of influence. We want to create a space for you and your spouse to pray over that, and to pray for our valley together as a unified church trying to reach our communities with the gospel. We're also helping with childcare this year, so let us know on the registration form if that's a need for your family. Go to www.thecitynetwork.org/soulcare to register!
