In today's episode, Mike and Nate are asking if Christians should be involved in politics..
Should Christians stay out of politics, or is civic engagement part of faithfully living out our faith?
In this episode, we dive into what the Bible says about government, authority, citizenship, and our responsibility as followers of Christ. We discuss why Jesus is our ultimate hope—not politics—while also examining whether Christians have a biblical responsibility to influence the culture around them.
We also look at research showing that millions of professing Christians choose not to vote, how that impacts elections, and why many believers have become disengaged from the political process. Most importantly, we explore how Christians can participate in civic life without making politics an idol.
Whether you vote in every election or have chosen to stay on the sidelines, this conversation is designed to challenge you to think biblically, pray intentionally, and engage your community with wisdom, conviction, and grace.
