What happens when political issues become theological issues? Should a Christian worldview be considered when looking at policies that are presented? With the U.S, Presidential election happening in a month Steve and Rich wanted to take time to talk through how a Christian should think through political issues. The important thing to remember is that our citizenship is not in this world or even in America but in Christ's kingdom. In America we are blessed with the ability to vote, and Christians should be good stewards of that privilege. Steve and Rich talk a lot about how to recognize a believer's place in this world while getting involved in certain politic issues. It is important to assess the worldview that is behind policies that are presented. A key thing for all believers to take hold of is to commit to speaking the truth in love and kindness, even showing love to those who might disagree. Sarah gives some challenges on how Christians should interact on social media when it comes to politics. Rich points out that Christians should actually be the least anxious about elections because of the knowledge of God's sovereign hand. We must always understand that our hope and our confidence is in God - not in any politician or political power.
