Description
Patrick and Keith discuss the ongoing debate between evangelicals on how to engage politics and culture. Should Christian punch right and coddle left? Should Christians have No Enemies To The Right? Or is there a different and more faithful way of engaging with politics as a Christian? They make observations on the arguments and explore how Christians can build unity between believers of different political persuasions.
Highlights:
- The Iowa caucuses and New Hampshire primary kicking off the election season
- Ongoing critiques between those emphasizing Christian nationalism vs progressivism
- Concerns about "punching right" vs "coddling left"
- The incentives of social media driving repetitive arguments
- Moving past right vs left frames to prioritize the kingdom of God
- Cultivating compassion for people on all sides
- Speaking the truth in love to both critique and build others up
