Send us a textUnlock the secrets of civic engagement from a Christian perspective as we sit down with Josiah Magnuson, author and legislator for District 38, to discuss his compelling book, "Biblical Civics." This episode promises to equip evangelical Christians with the tools they need to actively participate in government, overcoming misconceptions about the separation of church and state. Magnuson takes us through his 12-week course designed to inspire Christians to be "salt and light" in society, addressing the pervasive influence of pietism and misconceptions that have long kept believers out of political spheres. Together, we explore how Christians can infuse biblical principles into the public arena with courage and conviction.In a thought-provoking discussion, we dive into a biblical perspective on government and citizenship, stripping away partisan bias to uncover governance principles according to God's will. Drawing from the wisdom of historical figures like Thomas Jefferson and James Madison, as well as insights from Dr. Keith Sherlin and William Blackstone, we emphasize the importance of virtue, character, and active civic engagement. Our conversation with Dr. Jackson adds another layer of depth, thanking him for his contributions and looking forward to his future appearances. We close with an invitation to our listeners to explore more about Dr. Jackson's work and continue this meaningful journey with us on "More Than Medicine.https://biblicalcivics.study/https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BVPTNZL6https://www.instagram.com/biblicalcivicshttps://www.jacksonfamilyministry.comhttps://bobslone.com/home/podcast-production/

What does it look like to engage culture as a Christian in today's world? Is it a battle to be won, a system to be escaped, or something else entirely? In this thought-provoking discussion, Keith Simon lays out a vision for what he calls "joyful outsiders" - Christians who embrace their identity as outsiders, but who engage the culture in diverse and creative ways. Keith draws from Scripture to show how the Bible presents a range of approaches - from the "advisor" who works from within, to the "protester" who calls out injustice, to the "builder" who cultivates new institutions. The key, he argues, is for Christians to resist the temptation to find our identity in political power or cultural influence, and instead root ourselves firmly in Christ. It's a perspective that acknowledges the real challenges and tensions of living as followers of Jesus in a disoriented world. But rather than despair or withdrawal, Simon casts a vision of Christians working together in unity, respecting each other's diverse callings and roles. Whether you see yourself as more of a "trainer" or an "ambassador," Simon's insights offer a compelling alternative to the tired culture war narratives that have done so much damage. He invites us to embrace our identity as outsiders, to engage creatively, and to do so with joy - because our hope is not in the shifting sands of politics or public opinion, but in the unshakable foundation of Christ's love and victory. It's a conversation that gets to the heart of some of the most pressing questions facing the church today. And it just might unlock new possibilities for how we can faithfully and fruitfully live out our faith in the world. Keith Simon is a lead pastor at The Crossing, cohosts the podcasts Ten Minute Bible Talks and Truth Over Tribe, and coauthored Truth Over Tribe: Pledging Allegiance to the Lamb, Not the Donkey or the Elephant.

This is a conversation about how to faithfully engage culture as a Christian in a disorienting time. Our guest is Patrick Miller. He is a Pastor, Podcast host, and co-author of the book "Joyful Outsiders." In this conversation, Patrick shares how he was drawn to a church that was actively engaged in the community - supporting nonprofits, influencing local businesses, and making a real impact. As he's grown in his faith, he's had to wrestle with the tension of resisting the culture around us, while also cultivating and caring for that culture. The world has changed a lot, Patrick says. Christianity has gone from an insider position to more of an outsider status in America. And that creates a challenge - how do we live like Jesus in the midst of this? Do we hunker down and resist? Do we try to conform and fit in? Or is there a third way? Patrick lays out six different approaches - the Trainer, the Advisor, the Protester, the Ambassador, the Artist, the Builder. Each one represents a different way of engaging the world around us. And he argues we need all of these voices, working together in harmony, if we're going to faithfully follow Jesus. It's a nuanced, thoughtful conversation about an issue that's causing a lot of division and angst in the church today. But Patrick offers a hopeful vision - one where we embrace the tension, value our diversity, and work together to build something lasting for the next generation. It's a conversation I think you'll find really compelling. So join us as we learn to live in the tension of resistance and cultivation. Patrick Miller pastors at The Crossing in Missouri, cohosts the podcasts Ten Minute Bible Talks and Truth Over Tribe, and has coauthored one book.

What do you do when your beliefs collide with your ballot? Would Jesus Vote? And if so, who would he vote for? Recently Josh Howerton of LakepointeChurch  gave a sermon titled "How To Vote Like Jesus". We use a couple of clips from that as a springboard into this incredible conversation. We are not on the same page in this one. Our exploration veers into the moral complexities of voting and Christian responsibility in political engagement. We wrestle with the idea of rebellion against God by not voting, dissect the notion of third-party futility, and debate the ethics of supporting a system that may contradict Christian values. With humor and sincerity, we reflect on America's perception as a Christian nation and the divisive nature of current political discourse. As we raise our glasses in fellowship, we invite you into our community, where shared beliefs and joy in connection shine through every earnest exchange. We cannot cover all of the bases so let us know where you stand with all of this!

They have attempted to criminalize Israel's war efforts, effectively denying the Jewish state, the right to self-defense, and state sovereignty. This has fueled an unprecedented rise of antisemitism on the streets and campuses of American universities. Rather than an organic movement, the demonstrations, encampments, and riots engulfing these campuses and city streets are part of a concerted effort to sow social and political discord across the country.Our two panels will discuss both the organizations, objectives, and strategies behind the continued rise in antisemitism as well as the importance of restoring the once historic U.S.-Israel alliance.  Listen to other Heritage podcasts: https://www.heritage.org/podcasts Sign up for The Agenda newsletter — the lowdown on top issues conservatives need to know about each week: https://www.heritage.org/agenda Listen to podcasts from The Daily Signal: https://www.dailysignal.com/podcasts/ Get daily conservative news you can trust from our Morning Bell newsletter: DailySignal.com/morningbellsubscription

The Rev. Dr. Joel D. Biermann is the Waldemar A. and June Schuette Professor of Systematic Theology at Concordia Seminary, St. Louis, and author of several books, including Day 7: For Work, Rest, or Play (new from CPH) and Wholly Citizens: God's Two Realms and Christian Engagement with the World (Fortress).   In this lively and insightful Kitchen Table Talk conversation, Dr. Biermann answers timely questions on how to live, talk, think, and vote faithfully as a Christian citizen.  Can Christians (in good conscience) opt out of the voting process? If we are to vote, how do our Lutheran doctrines of vocation and the “two realms” inform our civic engagement? What pitfalls should we try to avoid as we engage in party politics and the democratic process? Can Christians still vote their consciences when there don't seem to be any truly good or godly choices on the ballot?  To learn and think more about this topic, subscribe to Dr. Biermann's YouTube channel, or check out his recommended follow-up read, Democracy and Solidarity: On the Cultural Roots of America's Political Crisis by James Davison Hunter.   Connect with the Lutheran Ladies on social media in The Lutheran Ladies' Lounge Facebook discussion group (facebook.com/groups/LutheranLadiesLounge) and on Instagram @lutheranladieslounge.

Surrounded By Lions is a Sermon Series in the book of Daniel.In this powerful sermon, we delve into the book of Daniel, a captivating narrative that showcases the exemplary character of a man who faced incredible challenges in a foreign culture. Through the life of Daniel, we will uncover valuable lessons on how Christians can navigate and positively influence the culture they find themselves in.Daniel's story begins with him being taken captive in Babylon during a time of upheaval. Despite being surrounded by a culture that contradicted his faith, Daniel's response was remarkable. He did not isolate himself or conform to the world's ways; instead, he chose to stand firm in his faith and remain faithful to God.One crucial aspect of Daniel's approach was his unwavering commitment to prayer. Amidst the cultural pressures to worship Babylonian gods, Daniel devoted himself to regular communion with the one true God. His prayer life became the foundation of his relationship with God, empowering him to discern God's will and receive divine wisdom.Furthermore, Daniel demonstrated remarkable wisdom and integrity in his interactions with those in authority. His respectful yet firm stance when it came to dietary laws revealed his determination to honor God above all else. By being true to his convictions, Daniel proved that one can remain faithful to God while also engaging respectfully with culture.Another remarkable attribute of Daniel was his reliance on God's power to interpret dreams and visions. His faith in God's ability to reveal mysteries empowered him to navigate the challenges of an unfamiliar culture with confidence. Daniel's life serves as a powerful reminder that when we put our trust in God, He equips us to overcome cultural pressures and walk in His purpose.As Christians, we can draw inspiration from Daniel's example. We are called to be in the world but not of it, just as Daniel was. Instead of retreating from culture, we should engage with it, seeking opportunities to be salt and light. Like Daniel, we must maintain a strong prayer life, allowing God's wisdom to guide us in our decision-making and interactions.In an age where cultural pressures can be overwhelming, Daniel's unwavering commitment to God's truth provides us with a blueprint for engagement. As we explore the book of Daniel, let us be encouraged to follow his example, standing firm in our faith, relying on God's wisdom, and being agents of positive change in the culture around us. By doing so, we can impact our world for Christ and bring glory to God in all we do.FOLLOW First Christian ChurchYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/firstchristianchurchofbrazilindianaFacebook: http://www.facebook.com/fccbrazilInstagram: http://www.instagram.com/fccbrazilTwitter: http://www.twitter.com/fccbrazilTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@fccbrazil?

Our nation is facing a critical election. At the same time, Christians are called to be both salt and light. As such we must recognize our accountability before God in the way that we handle the stewardship of our vote.--Returning to Crosstalk to remind listeners of the importance of this issue was Sam Rohrer. Sam is the president of the American Pastors Network. He's a former member of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives where he was Chair of the House Finance Committee. He's also the speaker on Stand in the Gap Radio and Stand in the Gap Television.--Sam began by explaining the importance of stewardship for Christians. There's stewardship of the environment, the raising of our children, our resources, as well as our intellect. In essence, there's nothing that anyone has that did not come from God. These things are loaned to us and our obligation is to steward them for God's glory. That includes everything we do such as our speech, our actions, and also our vote. So yes, when we stand before God one day, we will give an account for our votes as well.--What about those who believe that as Christians we shouldn't be engaged in earthly affairs such as voting-- Sam noted that a true believer in Christ is first and foremost a citizen of the kingdom of heaven. The Bible tells us this. However, as believers we realize we're merely passing through this life and only here for a short time. During that time, part of our responsibility is to be an ambassador for Christ. Do we really perceive of ourselves as ambassadors sent by the King of heaven to reflect a millennial, earthly kingdom that is to come--

A conversation with Dr. Joshua Ralston, Reader in Christian-Muslim Relations at the School of Divinity, University of Edinburgh and director and co-founder of the Christian-Muslim Studies Network funded by the Henry Luce Foundation, on his newly published book, Law and the Rule of God: A Christian Engagement with Shari'a (Cambridge University Press, 2020).

Dr Joshua Ralston discusses his book "Law and the Rule of God: A Christian Engagement with Shari'a" with Dr Ali-Reza Bhojani. In Law and the Rule of God, Joshua Ralston presents an innovative approach to Christian-Muslim dialogue. Eschewing both polemics and apologetics, he proposes a comparative framework for Christian engagement with Islamic debates on sharī'a. Ralston draws on a diverse range of thinkers from both traditions including Karl Barth, Ibn Taymiyya, Thomas Aquinas, and Mohammad al-Jabri. He offers an account of public law as a provisional and indirect witness to the divine rule of justice. He also demonstrates how this theology of public law deeply resonates with the Christian tradition and is also open to learning from and dialoguing with Islamic and secular conceptions of law, sovereignty, and justice. #sharia #god #christian

Here we grapple with the fundamental question of how to engage with a post-Christian'ish culture. How do we equip our children to know the Christian worldview, to communicate an apologetic, and engage positively in an increasingly anti-Christian culture---How do they think, live, and speak in the world about them---This program includes---1.

I sat down with Joshua Ralston to talk about his book Law and the Rule of God: a Christian Engagement with Shari’a (Cambridge, 2020). We discuss what lead him to this work, why discussions of law in Islam are missing in political theology (and why they matter), the problems of Protestant antinomianism, comparative theology and how recognising different conceptions of the law and its purpose assist interfaith work, and his account of public law as a provisional and indirect witness to the divine rule of justice Buy the bookCheck out the free course on Christian-Muslim relations Dr Ralston mentions at the end of the interview, produced by the University of Edinburgh.

Today we spoke with Rev. Eric O. Jacobsen, author of The Space Between: A Christian Engagement with the Built Environment and Sidewalks in the Kingdom: New Urbanism and the Christian Faith. Eric has spent years offering a theological perspective on the ins and outs of urban and suburban life. We had plenty of questions: What makes for a good city––and why should we care? What does suburbia have to do with the kingdom of God? Should police be in charge of bringing safety into neighbourhoods?Join us for this eye-opening conversation.
