For World Refugee Month, I’m dedicating this month on the Disarming Leviathan podcast to conversations about refugees in America.
First up is my friend Daniel Yang from World Relief.
When we see failures of prominent Christians, it’s easy to be cynical. But often, as @BethMooreLPM states: “Cynicism is just pride that thinks it’s smart.” It’s also deep pain & disillusionment crying out for relief. Either way, it’s not the solution.
In this episode of the j29 Podcast, Caleb sits down with Dr. Jordan Ballor and Dr. Vincent Bacote to talk Kuyper, Call and the Common Good.

This past Thursday, we hosted a free midday gathering for Chicago pastors and leaders on Christian nationalism with pastor and author Caleb Campbell. The conversation was timely and poignant, and we were grateful to welcome attendees from over 35 different churches and organizations.
Caleb did a skillful job breaking down the nuances and helping us make sense of the current church and political landscape with kindness, humor, and a clear gospel hope. The table discussions that followed led to a rich Q&A, with people leaning into some really tough and important questions.
Each attendee walked away with a copy of Disarming Leviathan: Loving Your Christian Nationalist Neighbor, along with a few next steps for continuing to learn and lead in their ministries and communities.
We’re grateful to New Life Covenant Church for their generous hospitality and for serving pastors and ministry leaders across Chicago so well!
We’re looking forward to our final Lead the City Conversations event of the season on May 21 at 11am, "Are We Leading from Wholeness?", a conversation on emotionally healthy leadership with guest Drew Hyun. This final gathering is hosted by TCP and sponsored by Chicagoland Collective, Exponential, and Crossway and hosted at Chicago West Bible Church. You’ll want to save your seat soon!
