St. Patrick's story is not myth- it is a collision between empire, exile, and the liberating Gospel of Jesus. In this special episode, we revisit Patrick's true witness, trace Ireland's centuries under domination, and examine how Irish-Americans shifted from resisting empire to defending it. Through history, theology, and personal reflection, we expose the powers that shape our imagination and rediscover a faith that refuses to bow to nationalism. A timely St. Patrick's Day call to return to our roots and embrace the kingdom path of compassion, justice, and hope.
