Listen along with our teaching series through the book of Daniel: Living as Strangers in a Strange Land. Join us as we follow Israel through exile. We will explore how they dealt with life as a minority culture, fighting to maintain faithfulness to God despite opposition and assimilation. In this second week in our Daniel series, Josh develops the historical backdrop and cultural situation of Judah's exile in Babylon that brings Daniel chapter 1 into sharper resolution. From here we try and understand what it was about Daniel and his friends that gave them the strength and resolve to say no to the influences and cultural pressures of Babylon when so many of their contemporaries could not.
