It’s a big day! My new book, The Good Citizen: A Four-Step Guide to Gospel-Centered Citizenship, is now published! Also, this marks 150 episodes for the podcast!
In this episode, I reflect on the history of the podcast, our key message and where we go from here. Then, I explain the reason for writing The Good Citizen and its basic outline. Also, I read a part of the introduction so you can get a taste of what the book is like. Here’s the book description:
As Christians, we are called to be followers of Jesus in every area of our lives, including in our role as citizen (Matt. 28:16-20; Phil 1:27). But, how exactly are we supposed to do that in an increasingly polarized and plural society? How can we engage in public life without jeopardizing the gospel? Here’s how. In The Good Citizen, Josh Hershberger reviews Biblical principles and the example of Christian citizens across continents and ages. Then, he applies those principles and examples to citizenship in the United States and sets out a practical, four-step plan for gospel-centered citizenship in a divided America. This book includes a Bible study guide for small group or classroom use. Most American Christians want to see the American republic strengthened and renewed for the next generation. But that will not come through novel political strategies. Rather, it will come by prayer and by engaging government in God’s way. Let’s get to work.
The Good Citizen: A Four-Step Guide to Gospel-Centered Citizenship is now available on Amazon in print and Kindle versions!
