This week’s Ask the Pastor episode kicks off our brand new series, Gospel & Politics. This series will feature Pastor J.D. with other respected leaders talking about how we can integrate both the gospel and politics into our lives this election season.
A glimpse inside this episode:
Secular beliefs often have Christian foundations, and Christians should recognize the influence of their faith in shaping moral values.
The witness of the church is not about being good people, but about recognizing our need for Jesus and sharing the gospel with others.
The decline in church attendance presents an evangelistic opportunity, as many people are searching for meaning and purpose.
Christians should engage in politics and vote according to their Christian values, while also recognizing the limitations of legislation in enforcing personal beliefs.
Christian engagement in politics can have a significant impact, and Christians should strive for a holistic understanding of scripture in shaping political discourse.
