The prophet Amos is told by the priest not to prophesy in Bethel—because it is “the sanctuary of the king.” But we know the deeper history of Bethel is that Jacob named it “the house of God.” What do you do when the king & the prophet...or God & government...have conflicting claims? And where does Romans 13 fit in? These are the pressing questions of the moment we are in, & this no-holds barred message from The Table explores them all.

From Jonathan Martin’s plenary session from the Water to Wine Gathering in St. Joseph, MO. Elisha demonstrates the prophetic task to which we are now all called—not to stand in the safe middle, but to stand in the dangerous in-between. Not standing for ourselves, our own people or interests, even for our own faith—but to stand in-between the world and her own self-destruction. The peace not only of “the people of God,” but of all people, is at stake at whether or not there is a people who are willing to stand in-between.
