Episode: 309 / Living in a world where we don't belong
Description: If there's one thing we've learned so far in this Exile series, it's that we can readily identify with the Israelites in Babylon. Yet that raises the question — how do we actually respond to living in a world where we don't belong? There are at least three natural responses. It's only natural to want to resist, withdraw, or assimilate. Yet in Jeremiah 29, God encourages the Israelites to a radical third (or fourth?) way: faithful presence. Mandy unpacks what this meant for the Israelites, and how we can model them in our own time.
