Podcasts about christians and politics

Listen in this week as we discuss the biblical view of Christians and politics, ultimately setting our hope on Christ's coming kingdom.

Segment 1: Are Christians Afraid to Talk About Politics? A New Study Says Yes Dr. Chaps delves into a recent study revealing that many Christians are hesitant to discuss politics, even with fellow believers. This segment explores the reasons behind this reluctance, including fear of backlash and concerns about division within the church. Dr. Chaps provides insights on how believers can balance faith and political discussions, fostering unity and standing firm in their values. Segment 2: Persecution in Africa: Man Beaten by Family for Worshiping Christ In this powerful segment, Dr. Chaps shares the story of a man in an African country who faced violent persecution from his own family for praying and worshiping Christ. We investigate why religious persecution remains prevalent in certain regions, particularly within families. Dr. Chaps also calls for prayers and support for our persecuted brothers and sisters, encouraging viewers to stand in solidarity. Segment 3: Tough Questions on Israel: Dr. Harper Challenges U.S. State Department In the final segment, Dr. Chaps highlights Dr. Harper's recent efforts at the U.S. State Department to question the current administration's stance on Israel. Dr. Harper seeks clarity on America's response to recent events in Israel and what it means for both nations. This segment offers a deeper look into U.S.-Israel relations and the impact of these policies on global Christian communities.

As Christians, election seasons can be difficult to navigate. We want to vote according to God and His Word, but it can be difficult. This is especially true when one politician may hold strong to one value and their opposition to another. So, how should Christians approach voting? On this episode of Everyday Theology, Jacob shares with us some practical takeaways and encouragement as we prepare to cast our votes this election season.ResourceNavigating Politics Resource Guide | https://bit.ly/3N9Zpd1See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We're back for part 2 of our chat with Blake Guichet about Christians and Politics.  We chat about whether open borders and socialism are truly biblical, what it means that God is the one who raises up and brings down kings, and what this means for our political decisions as Bible-believing Christians.  Wherever you fall on the political spectrum, we pray this episode will cause you to pray more, search your Bible diligently for truth, and trust yourself to the sovereign Lord of the universe whose purposes are always good, right, and true.

In God's Word, we are commanded to pray for all people, no matter if we like them, or disagree with them, or what. All people, especially those in authority over us: our local police, the mayor, the governor, and the President of the United States, whether you voted for them or not. The command does not change depending on who is leading. That might be distasteful or difficult, but we must do it. So how do we pray and what do we pray for all of those in authority over us?

Pastor David Adair picks up our 1 Peter series in 2:11-25, teaching on the call of Christians to honor everyone - including our political leaders.

Pastor Ben preaches on how we, as Christians, are called to fear God and that calling is to His Kingdom, which transcends the nations where we reside.

Few topics are messier than that of Christians and politics. Depending on what part of the Bible you read, you'll be told to listen to everything the government says or to challenge it prophetically. When do we challenge? How do we challenge? Why do we challenge? As Jamin wraps up his master's degree on theology and social justice, he uses 1 Peter as a springboard to look at the conversation from a physical and spiritual view and gives some points for action in the here and now.

In this week's conversation between Dr. James Emery White and co-host Alexis Drye, they discuss the world of Christians and politics. What should Christians consider before entering into political conversations? Is it possible to come out of these conversations as brothers and sisters in Christ? Should politics even matter to a Christian? With the primaries nearly upon us, this is a very important conversation to be having. Episode Links Dr. White delivered a five-week series at Mecklenburg Community Church related to this topic that you'll definitely want to check out. It is titled “Where Angels Fear to Tread: Meck Talks Politics” and we received so much positive feedback about this series. He also talked about the fact that it's important for pastors to speak out on important cultural topics like gay marriage, gender and creation care. You can find a collection of series that Dr. White has delivered on cultural topics HERE. There are two books that Dr. White mentioned in today's conversation to help you delve further into this subject:The Message of the Sermon on the Mount: Christian Counter-Culture by John R.W. Stott and Mass Communication and Everyday Life by Dennis Davis and Stanley Baran. In the latter, the authors cited an article from Daniel Boorstin titled “The Road to Diplopia.” In the discussion they referenced a 2016 Christianity Today article titled “Bible Influences Only 1 in 10 Evangelicals on Immigration Reform,” revealing how little Christians let the Bible guide and shape their political views. Had Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. taken this same approach to his Christian faith, he may have never been able to pen the words in his Why We Can't Wait (Letter from a Birmingham Jail).

What is truth? Is there an absolute truth, or are you tempted to believe the truth is relative? You have your "truth," I have my truth, and we all can get along just fine.  A recent poll from Summit Ministries and McLaughlin and associates shows that America has reached a tipping point - about 55% of young American voters are saying that there is no absolute truth; rather, it is up to each individual to define their own version of truth. My guest is the president of Ministries, Dr. Jeff Myers Myers. Dr. Myers has become one of America's most respected authorities in youth development and apologetics.In his new book, Truth Changes Everything, Dr. Myers challenges the idea that all hope to find Truth is lost in our culture. The book is filled with fascinating stories about Jesus' followers who lived for truth and transformed the world in times of crisis.  According to Dr. Myers, Truth Changes Everything asks the question: “What kind of world would unfold if smart, determined people lived as if Jesus really was the Truth?To find out more about Dr. Myers, Summit Ministries and his books, visit: https://www.summit.org/This episode is also available on YouTube: https://youtu.be/DJt2Tm-8iGoSupport the showClick on the link above to support us and help keep this show going!Click on the links to connect with Patricia on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube

In today's world where political and social issues are constantly full of tension, and often outrage, we must ask ourselves the question: How does my identity as a follower of Christ impact the lens through which I view politics? We know that as Christians, we are called to live and engage in this world without becoming of it. We know that while we are citizens of our countries, our first and ultimate allegiance is to Christ and growing His Kingdom. Being a Christian doesn't mean we're a republican any more than being a Christian means we're a democrat. We're called to submit to and pray for our governing authorities, regardless of where they lie on the political spectrum. And ultimately, the demeanor we as Christians take when engaging in politics should exemplify Christ. In this episode we chat all about politics through a biblical worldview, focusing on eight principles you as a Christian should consider regarding your engagement in the political realm.   Connect with the Sibleys: Follow along on Instagram Every follower of Jesus is called to be a theologian, and just because you don't have time to go to seminary right now, doesn't mean you can't go deeper starting today...

Like all informed citizens, Christians should be involved in politics at some level. But how is that possible? What about the separation of church and state? What about evangelism? Won't we turn people off to Jesus if we get political? And what is Christian nationalism? Is it a big movement and a real threat?

In spite of the decline of moral values in our country, many people believe that Christians should stay out of politics and government affairs. They think we ought to busy ourselves with sharing the Gospel and leave the politics to someone else. While it's true we want to be kingdom focused and share the Good News with the world… this doesn't mean believers should remove themselves from decisions that affect the cities and states they reside in. If Christians keep out of politics, who will oppose decisions that harm humanity as a whole? What about things that harm children? And things that threaten religious freedom? Who else will defend these moral causes? Learn more on this topic with Bill and Annette in this week's episode.

Pastor and scholar Jeff Meyers discusses his new commentary on the book of James, Wisdom for Dissidents. Meyers explains how modern commentators have failed to take the actual words of James seriously. When James mentions war, battles, and murder, he's not talking about arguments over the color of the new carpeting. James guided Christians through a time of political strife, assassination, civil violence and insurrection; in other words, a time much like our own.  Timestamps:0:00 – Intro1:14 – James and Ecclesiastes8:25 – Rebellion against Rome13:12 – Israel and Egypt19:53 – James helps Christians grow up26:00 – What is James preparing Christians for?31:05 – How Christians should respond to political violence42:00 – Why you should read this commentarySee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
