Feeling caught in the crossfire of your Christian beliefs and the political turmoil around you? If the clash between your faith and the pressures of national loyalty has left you questioning where you stand, The Bad Roman is here to explore these very issues with you. Craig Harguess, once a neoconservative, now leads this engaging series, drawing from his own journey to understanding that being true to Christ often means challenging the expectations of the state.
At the heart of ”The Bad Roman Project” is the provocative idea that ”sometimes to be a good Christian means to be a bad Roman.” This concept isn’t about defiance for its own sake (the mol tov cocktail version of anarchy) but emphasizes that our primary allegiance is to Christ’s teachings, which can sometimes put us at odds with worldly powers. It’s a call to prioritize our heavenly citizenship over earthly political ties, embodying the principle of ”No King but Christ.” This phrase underlines the choice to follow Jesus’s example of love, service, and justice, rather than aligning with the ambitions of worldly leaders within a state-bound system.
This podcast offers a platform for those who feel the tension between their spiritual convictions and the political narratives that seek to co-opt them. It’s a community for open, honest dialogue about navigating these challenges while staying true to our faith. Through thought-provoking discussions, ”The Bad Roman Podcast” invites you to consider how your Christian journey intersects with the societal structures around you. Join us as we dive deep into what it means to live out our faith authentically, even when it means being ’bad Romans’ in the eyes of the world.
