About this episode
Every story, every interaction, every decision is a collision of kingdoms. Every square inch of the cosmos, every moment in time, is contested territory. You are either building the City of God or you are building the City of Man. You are either serving the King of Righteousness or you are serving the king of Sodom. There is no third option, no demilitarized zone, no Switzerland. This is the drama of all human history, and it is set before us in miniature here in Genesis 14. Abram, fresh from a stunning military victory, a righteous war to rescue his kinsman Lot, finds himself at a crossroads in the King's Valley. Two cities, two worldviews, two futures are placed before him. The other offers a deal from the city of destruction. One offers bread and wine, a foretaste of fellowship with God.
