The military is an efficient allegiance-forming machine. What does that mean for a Christian in military service? U.S. Air Force veteran Joey Fasulo joins the ‪@reparadigmed‬ Podcast to talk about his experience finding Jesus while in the US Air Force, how the military uses Christianity for its purposes, and what trying to live by the ethic of Jesus looks like while serving as an airman. He discusses his desire for Christians to think more critically about national identity before jumping wholesale into a military vocation. He draws out the very real tension between living as a citizen of Jesus' kingdom and caring about one's country, as these two powers demand support by means of radically different ethics.
