Kari,
It’s encouraging to hear what God is teaching you regarding what it means to be a citizen of the Kingdom of God, not of men, and im glad that your stidents can be led by someone like you who is learning this perspective!
God has been teaching me the same thing over the past couple years, and it’s been incredibly freeing! Instead of feeling hopeless when looking at the state of our country and world, we can hope in what God has promised, and have peacing knowing that it is all in His hands!
