Episode Summary:
Dive into this compelling episode of The Field Journal Podcast as we explore the surprising political strategy in the current presidential election, where each party is branding the other as "weird." Discover the roots of this tactic and its implications for voters.
Most importantly, we examine how Jesus of Nazareth, often seen as a "weird" figure in his time, challenged societal norms and embodied a different kind of weirdness aligned with the Kingdom of God. This episode will leave you questioning what it truly means to be "weird" and how aligning with the Kingdom perspective can bring peace and clarity in chaotic times.
