Episode 312: 312. Clay Jars and Chosen Nations: Dr. Strange on Election and the Public Square

Israel wasn't chosen because it was great. God said so himself. In this episode of MarsCast, Jared Luttjeboer and Dr. Alan Strange open Deuteronomy 7 and discuss how divine election has never been about merit, national greatness, or cultural superiority. So what does that mean for Christians today who are tempted to baptize political power with the language of chosenness? The answer, Dr. Strange argues, isn't disengagement, but the harder road of humble engagement, where the Beatitudes, not a political platform, shape how believers enter the public square.
