Originally, Bruce and Justin recorded a whole hour's worth of discussion to wrap up this three-part series. Somehow, likely user oversight, the file disappeared or was never recorded. 

But, you're in luck, because this final part was intended to describe what living out the kingdom of heaven on earth should look like and we've done two exhaustive series (one on the Sermon on the Mount and the other on the book of James) that details this reality.

So, this episode will just be a reposting of our SOTM wrap-up episode from season 3.

In this episode, Bruce and Justin invite the hosts of The Grey Man Podcast, Mike Sian and Jim Mueller to discuss the geopolitical and theological implications of a Christian nation-state.
