Most Christians were taught that the Gospel is about going to heaven one day.

But when Jesus sent out His disciples in Luke 9, that is not what they proclaimed.

They announced the Gospel of the Kingdom.

So what does that mean?

In this episode of Spiritual Recon, we revisit the message Jesus actually commissioned His followers to announce — and why misunderstanding the Kingdom has quietly reshaped how we share the Gospel today.

In the first century, euangelion was a royal announcement: a new King had taken the throne. Allegiance was shifting. A new Kingdom had arrived.

Salvation, then, is not merely forgiveness of sins or a future destination.

It is transfer. It is citizenship. It is restoration into the family and reign of God.

Drawing from Luke 9, Colossians 1, the Deuteronomy 32 worldview, and Jesus’ proclamation in Luke 4, we explore what the Kingdom actually looks like — and how understanding it reshapes mission.

This conversation is not about minimizing the cross.

It is about understanding what the cross accomplished — and what we were sent to proclaim as ambassadors.

Because what we believe about the Kingdom determines what we share with others.

🎙 Topics include:

• What “gospel” meant in the ancient world • Why the disciples were not preaching “go to heaven” • Transfer from the domain of darkness into the Kingdom of Christ • Allegiance to a King and obedience • The rescue of the nations and the Great Commission • The seven characteristics of the Kingdom: deliverance, justice, healing, peace, restoration, joy, and the presence of God • Why a cookie-cutter gospel often fails to speak real good news

If the Kingdom is bigger than we were told, then our mission is too.
