SOMETHING HAS BEEN FORMING THE AMERICAN CHURCH. AND IT ISN'T THE GOSPEL.
You've felt it: the moment someone you respect says something about politics and your stomach drops-not because they're wrong, but because you realize you no longer speak the same language. How did we get here?
In Kingdom Over Empire, pastor Brian Drinkwine names what many believers sense but cannot articulate: a quiet drift where fear hardened into spiritual virtue, outrage felt productive, and loyalty to a party slowly displaced allegiance to Christ. Writing from his own journey out of political captivity, through Scripture and the story of exiles who refused to bow, he traces six mechanisms empire uses to capture the Christian imagination: fear, seduction, winning, certainty, enemies, and pressure.
Readers will:
- Recover the New Testament meaning of faith as undivided allegiance to King Jesus
- Recognize empire's playbook wherever it appears, on the right or the left
- Reclaim a faith that engages the world without bowing to it
Written for Christians who love Jesus but feel spiritually homeless, Kingdom Over Empire isn't a book about who to vote for. It's about who has been forming you.
