My work in a civic ministry really embodies what was taught in the introduction course. The idea that we are first called to the kingdom and without that basic understanding through the Old Testament the New Testament really does not make sense. My job is to bring back the basic Hebraic understanding for leaders to then engage in the world through ministries, through politics, through culture. Also that political leadership is just a gift that not all possess and some may be called to something different is one that I stress in my work. Modern America Christianity calls for with one extremely or the other but the first Christians found balance and it’s something I really took away from the teachings. America will not save the world but in order to keep sharing the gospel us as leaders need to preserve freedom we have and advocate for that same freedoms else where. Also I think that is something the founders called for as well.
