## Resource

Vince Lewis completed two years of officer training followed by 24 years of being an officer in the United States Air Force. He then worked for 14 years in weapons development for the Department of Defense on projects such as the B-2 Stealth Bomber. Eventually, Vince came to a different understanding of war and saw how Christ’s followers are instead to love their enemies. Vince draws from his experiences to take us inside America’s military industrial system. The kingdoms of this world use warfare for power, dominance, and control, while Christ’s kingdom wields self-sacrificial love. Christianity, War, and America’s Salvation Story by Michael Lewis Vince’s Testimony This is the 306th episode of Anabaptist Perspectives, a podcast, blog, and YouTube channel that examines various aspects of conservative Anabaptist life and thought.
