In an era where political tensions seem to be reaching a fever pitch globally, how can church leaders guide their communities with wisdom, grace, and an unwavering focus on Jesus? Join us for this timely and thoughtful conversation with pastors Keith Smith, Jonny Morrison, and Cherish Hamilton as they share their experiences and insights on leading congregations through politically charged seasons.

Our panel moves beyond reactive commentary to explore deeper questions: How do we maintain our prophetic witness as the Body of Christ when political identities threaten to overshadow our Kingdom calling? What does it mean to be the church in an increasingly polarized world? And how do we sustain hope and avoid weariness while leading through extended seasons of tension?

Drawing from their diverse ministry contexts across the United States, our guests offer practical wisdom for pastors and church leaders wrestling with these challenges. They share vulnerable stories of struggles and breakthrough moments while unpacking how their communities are learning to prioritize Kingdom values over partisan divisions.

Whether you're a church leader seeking guidance, a Christian struggling to navigate political tensions in your own community, or simply someone yearning for a more hope-filled way forward, this conversation offers a fresh perspective on how we can remain rooted in Jesus while engaging thoughtfully with the political realities of our time.
