Subscribe via iTunes or GoogleSeason 1, Episode 6 (Spring Season, 2018)In this episode, Kurt Willems explores the imperial cult, the gods of the Roman Empire, and how they influence the 7 cities in Revelation. The followers of Jesus have to navigate how to give the slaughtered Lamb their full allegiance, when the forces around them seek to take captive their imaginations.
