It's All Sacred: Marketplace Kingdom Season Three Episode 15

When we discuss the relationship of our faith to the real world,
how often do we still refer to our “secular” jobs or our “secular”
activities? We say that Jesus is Lord of all, but we continue to
talk (and think) in ways which demonstrate a lingering suspicion
that there are certain areas of life in which God is really not
that interested or involved. Whether because of our own perspective
or because of growing public pressure on believers to keep their
faith “in its place”, we persist in living as though some parts of
life are sacred and some are not. And to an ever increasing degree,
our public life is seen to be some sort of spiritually neutral
territory and the sacred is relegated to private spaces and
specifically “religious” gatherings. In our conversation with
returning guest Dan Clites, we explore a different perspective. One
in which the redeeming power and lordship of Jesus Christ really
does lay claim to all of life, abolishing the sacred/secular
divide. The Kingdom of God doesn’t allow for multiple citizenships
and competing allegiances. Either Jesus is Lord…or he’s not. In
everything. The God of the bible simply refuses to politely stay in
some religiously assigned socially or politically appropriate box.
Everything everywhere belongs to Him. “It’s all sacred.”
