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.

In part two of our conversation with author Rachel Held Evans, we tackle fundamentalism on the left, the fear of being “cancelled,” not being able to care equally about everything social media says you should care about, faithful ways both to stay and to leave a faith tradition, why twitter doesn’t work for spiritual formation, not putting ideas over people, staying tender/keeping your heart aligned with love in a violent age, and trying to figure out when & how to speak, & when not to speak. It all comes down to “wisdom and discernment.”
