The Bible and the Ballot Part 1: Being Christian in a Partisan World
Manage episode 431301899 series 3574256
How does the rise of Christian nationalism and Trumpism impact personal faith? Are we as a country more divided than we have ever been? What do the scriptures actually tell us about our role as believers in politics, and do we see Christians in politics actually living out what the Bible says? Are we to look to the government, or a governing official as the hope of the world? And How do we show Jesus and bridge the divide politics creates in our relationships? These are a few of the questions and principles I will address on the next few episodes on the Hopeful Perspective.
Join me on today's Hopeful Perspective podcast as I recount a heartfelt conversation with a friend who is grappling with these very issues. Reflecting on my own journey and discovery, as I explore the delicate balance of maintaining open-hearted dialogue and embracing love amidst differing perspectives. Together, we navigate the challenging terrain of intertwining faith and politics in today's society.
In the latter part of our discussion, we address contentious topics such as the right to life and the biblical definition of marriage. I share insights from my extensive research and conversations with diverse theological perspectives, and illuminate my own personal stances in order to begin the definition of terms. We also tackle recent political events, including an assassination attempt on Donald Trump, and emphasize the imperative for Christian leaders to stand righteously across the political spectrum, in alignment with the Word of God. Through discernment, prayer, and a commitment to seeking truth, we aim to find hope and guidance amid the chaos of our times.
