There are few things more controversial than whether Christians should be involved with politics, and if so, to what degree and how that involvement should happen. In this episode, I break down two basic premises for thinking well about this subject:
1. Christians have the right, politically speaking, to advocate for our views in the public square.
2. Christians have the calling, spiritually speaking, to advocate for the good of others.
I then respond to seven problematic ideas on the topic found in Pastor Andy Stanley’s new book, “Not In It to Win It.” (To be clear, these are problems I believe there are with what he wrote, not problems he is presenting.)
