The Two Weapons They Use to Keep You in Line

A raw Kingdom conversation about how comparison and competition keep us trapped - and how we can resist, rebuild, and live out a community like Acts 2 in the real world.

The Two Weapons They Use to Keep You in Line

“Empire says win. Kingdom says take up your cross.”

In this latest Tether Table Conversation, we pull up a chair around mismatched cushions, chipped mugs, and fading laughter - and drop straight into something raw and real.

This one’s about comparison and competition. Not the friendly kind. The kind that keeps you in your place. The kind that whispers, “You’re not enough.” The kind that plays out in church, in business, on social media, and deep inside your own mind.

We’re calling it: The Two Weapons They Use to Keep You in Line.

Because that’s exactly what they are - tools of control used by the powers that be to keep us striving, proving, and never arriving.

But there’s another way.

A Kingdom culture that doesn’t run on rivalry or status, but on sacredness, service, and shared hope.

This isn’t a programme.

It’s not a platform.

It’s a people.

Maybe even a revival.

👀 Come see what we’re building - and maybe pull up your own chair.
