It can be so frustrating to work with the system of the world, but Charlie invited us to consider operating within God’s system of government on earth ...

Dr. Ben Edwards was part of the medical “system” for years until he got fired after God completely disrupted his thinking. Before the disruption - he followed suit. He played by the rules.

God didn’t want Dr. Ben in that model, though, and started to unravel everything by leaving Ben a copy of “Radical” by David Platt on an empty bus seat in the middle of nowhere in Zambia. Shortly after, hi...
