Description: In this episode, host Oren Martin is joined by guests Blake Holmes and Dr. Stephen Presley to discuss why church history matters, what we can learn from it, how to engage our culture with the gospel, and how to think and act Christianly when it comes to politics.

(08:24-16:17) “We should avoid the dangers of both the warrior mentality that can lead to anger and the passivity that can generate separatism and seclusion. This is no mushy middle, but a stalwart high ground on which one will not lose footing or tumble off in either direction. Walking this tightrope requires the pursuit of virtuous living that demonstrates Christians to be the best citizens.” Dr. Stephen Presley, Cultural Sanctification (page 70). “I choose not to fall on either side, but have a posture of confidence, of hope, of fortitude, of living faithfully in this situation and that is what I found in the early church doing.” Dr. Stephen Presley.

Blandina: A Sister in Christ and a Spiritual Mother Who was Eusebius of Caesarea? “Christians are not distinguished from the rest of humanity, by country, language, or custom. For no where do they live in cities of their own, nor do they speak some unusual dialect, nor do they practice an eccentric lifestyle. They demonstrate the remarkable and admittedly unusual character of their own citizenship, that is, they live in their own countries as aliens, they participate in everything as citizens, yet endure everything as foreigners. They live on earth, but their citizenship is on Heaven.” – The Epistle to Diognetus Scripture Mentioned: Romans 13:1, 1 Peter 2:13-17, 1 Peter 3:14-17.
