391 - The Controversy over "Christ is King"

A few weeks ago, a study came out criticizing the use of the phrase "Christ is King"—and it stirred up a lot of strong reactions, including my own. In this video, I take you through the symbolism, history, and deeper meaning behind this expression, and I share why I believe its resurgence today is both important and complicated. I’ll also reflect on how identity naturally includes and excludes—and why that's not something we should fear.<br /><br />YouTube version: https://youtu.be/_9_PWSOgK5w<br /><br />The study in question: https://networkcontagion.us/reports/3-13-25-thy-name-in-vain-how-online-extremists-hijacked-christ-is-king/<br /><br />SYMBOLISM MASTERCLASS<br />Join me this April for the Symbolism Masterclass, a 6-week deep dive into the essentials of symbolic thinking.
