It’s no secret that politics has fractured the nation and the church, but perhaps the most painful casualty has been the family. If you have a family relationship (or two!) strained by politics, you’re not alone! Today’s guest, Jon Ward, a political reporter and the author of Testimony: Inside the Evangelical Movement That Failed a Generation, can relate. Today, he joins Keith to discuss why evangelicalism falls short in helping Christians learn how to think about politics. He shares the story of his upbringing, detailing his eventual break from an influential evangelical church. He details how the 2016 election and the controversy surrounding Donald Trump threatened to tear his family apart. Given his experiences, does he believe that our families should separate from politics? Should Christians even engage in the culture war to begin with? And how can we avoid prideful views of being better than “those” Christians on the other side? Listen now!
