Plundering Leviathan
PLUNDERING LEVIATHAN is a podcast devoted to reclaiming the gold of this post-Christian culture for the glory of Christ. ”LEVIATHAN” is biblical icon for the enemy of God (Isaiah 27:1), and ”PLUNDERING” is evocative of God’s people taking the enemy’s gold to build the temple of God (Exodus 3:20-22). Music, politics, social media, art, sex, coffee, beards, recreational drugs, books, travel, tattoos, sports (and all the rest) is cultural gold that exists for the glory of King Jesus (Colossians 1:16). The enemy has been bound (Revelation 20:1-3), and now the church is called to plunder his house (Mark 3:27). Let’s go!
