The Retreatists

What if the biggest threat to the church isn’t outside of it—but in the pulpit? In this gripping episode, we confront a modern theology that masquerades as purity while abandoning Christ’s lordship over the world. When prominent pastors say Christians should not resist evil, seek justice, or disciple nations, have they reduced the faith to a private cult? The early church built hospitals, courts, schools, and orphanages—not by retreating from the world, but by claiming it for Christ. So what happened? If you’ve ever felt the tension between a privatized Christianity and the radical, world-shaping Gospel of the Kingdom, this episode will give you clarity—and a call to action.
