In this fiery episode of Overturning Tables, Rev. Jonathan Bradner and Rev. Derek Terry confront the pervasive grip of political empire on our faith and identity. We examine how the gospel has been co-opted to serve systems of power, dominance, and oppression—often turning the Church into a tool of empire rather than a voice for the oppressed.

This is a call to action for believers to see the gospel for what it truly is: a radical message of liberation that stands in opposition to empire's obsession with power, wealth, and control. From scripture to modern-day parallels, we expose how political allegiance, nationalism, and the hunger for dominance have twisted our faith, creating a version of Christianity that serves systems of injustice rather than the kingdom of God.

We ask the hard questions: What does it mean to serve a Savior executed by empire when we so often align ourselves with its demands? How can the Church reclaim its prophetic voice, denouncing systems that exploit and oppress rather than blessing them?

Join us as we untangle the gospel from political idolatry, calling the Church to remember that our allegiance is not to flags or governments but to the liberating love of Christ. This is not just a conversation—it’s an urgent plea for transformation.
