Summary
There is a growing number of Christians who feel like they do not belong anywhere. The culture does not want what they believe. And their church often does not know how to form them in the direction their faith is pointing. That feeling has a name in Scripture. It is exile.
Khalil and the team explore the biblical theme of exile, from Israel's captivity in Babylon to Peter's description of believers as sojourners and exiles, and apply it as a framework for understanding the contemporary Christian experience. God is not surprised that his people feel like outsiders in the culture they are living in. That has always been the shape of the covenant community. The question is not how to make belonging in the surrounding culture more comfortable. The question is how to live faithfully and hopefully as a people whose belonging is rooted in God's eternal family. This episode gives believers a story they can actually live inside. This episode explores biblical exile, spiritual loneliness, and what the Bible's story of the Israelite exile teaches Christians who feel like outsiders in modern culture.
