As our political landscape heats up, Dr. Biermann provides profound insights into how issues of sexuality, race, and immigration intertwine with rapid societal changes. Discover how Christians can maintain their allegiance to Christ above all else, even when the world around them seems politically charged and divisive.

Step into the world of Christian ethics with us as we unpack Bonhoeffer's four mandates: family, labor, government, and church. We're diving into the tough questions about political alignment and the crucial role of voting in a democratic society. As we navigate the complex landscape of modern values, we reflect on the biblical intentions for marriage and family, emphasizing the importance of fulfilling God's great commission of stewardship through the nuclear family.

Imagine a future where creation is restored, transcending physical limitations and embracing right relationships. Inspired by Martin Luther's imaginative insights, we discuss the significance of our material existence and the potential of our resurrected bodies in the new creation. By reimagining work as a fulfilling aspect of our purpose and balancing grace with works, we explore the practical ethics of faith in action, all while honoring God's design for our redeemed humanity.
