The Green Room carries the latest installment of my series on how to grow out of inadequate models of the kingdom of God; this one is on how culture-war churches can look deeper at their theology to find ways to grow:

“I just don’t understand it,” the world-famous culture war pastor said to me. His voice was soft, his head cast down, his tone sorrowful. “I don’t question that they’re believers. They are. I know they are. But I just don’t understand how anyone who believes in Jesus could vote for politicians who support abortion.”

“They” were the black church, which votes overwhelmingly Democratic.

Next up: Practical steps these churches can take to move toward a deeper theology of culture.
