KS 419 - Start Your Own Nation: Building God's Kingdom in Babylon

Episode notes

Send us Fan Mail Have you been so focused on national issues that you've missed your opportunity for local kingdom impact? That's exactly where Tyler McHart found himself before a profound shift in his thinking about Christian engagement in business, family, and community. Drawing from Jeremiah 29's surprising instructions to exiled Israelites in Babylon, Tyler unpacks how believers are called not to retreat from hostile territory but to establish themselves firmly within it. "Build houses, plant gardens, have children..." wasn't just advice for ancient Jews—it's a blueprint for modern Christians seeking to create lasting impact in their communities. Tyler challenges compartmentalized thinking that keeps our faith, business, and civic engagement in separate silos. Through personal stories—including a powerful family gathering where he and his sisters intentionally passed down their mother's values to ten grandchildren—he illustrates what it means to establish a godly legacy that transcends generations.
