In this episode, I ask Jeremy why Christians have often neglected the topic Jesus spoke of most: The Kingdom of God. We also talk about&nbsp;

 <li>pandemic pastoring in Los Angeles,&nbsp;</li>
 <li>how the cross and Kingdom go together, and</li>
 <li>how idols claim the throne in our lives.</li>
</ul>
