During this election season, ask God to guard your heart, mind, and tongue with His peace. Commit to praying for our nation and for those who disagree with you, asking the Holy Spirit to reveal God's truth to them.  SUBSCRIBE to our sister podcasts:Your Daily Prayer: https://www.lifeaudio.com/your-daily-prayer/Your Daily Bible Verse: https://www.lifeaudio.com/your-daily-bible-verse/ Full Transcript Below How to Stay Peaceful through Election Day and Beyond (710 words) By Lynette Kittle “If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone”--Romans 12:18 Political divisiveness in our nation is at blood boiling temperatures, where rather than just having differing viewpoints between people, there is a growing disdain towards those who disagree and don't align with personal party choices. Sadly, living at peace with everyone seems almost impossible to achieve in the current volatile political climate, especially during election season. It's challenging seeing opposing political posts on social media and reading of others' support for candidates whose policies go against our Christian values, beliefs, and convictions. But rather than duking it out with them, the Apostle Paul in Romans 14:19 urges, “Let us therefore make every effort to do what leads to peace and to mutual edification.” So how do we make it to and through Election Day in one piece, retaining our peace and being kind and tenderhearted to those around us while at the same time disagreeing with their political stances? Avoiding Heated Political Conflicts with Our Neighbors and Family Members United States 3rd President Thomas Jefferson said to William Hamilton, April 22, 1800, “I never considered a difference of opinion in politics, in religion, in philosophy, as cause for withdrawing from a friend.” Of course it's more difficult to feel warm towards someone we strongly disagree with concerning politics. It's much easier to feel love towards those who agree and support our beliefs. Still God's way is to “love your neighbor as yourself” (Matthew 22:39), even when our neighbor holds opposing political viewpoints. So instead of jumping headfirst into heated political discussions, God calls us to resist the temptation. “But avoid foolish controversies and genealogies and arguments and quarrels about the law, because these are unprofitable and useless” (Titus 3:9). Especially true when it comes to our family and neighbors, God calls us to “Turn from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it” (Psalm 34:14). Stand Firm in the Light Yet as Christians, as children of the light, we are called to push back the darkness. 1 Thessalonians 5:5 reminds us, “You are all children of the light and children of the day. We do not belong to the night or to the darkness.” It's hard to see what's happening in our culture and nation, where like Isaiah 5:20 describes, “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.” Sinful practices that used to be hidden are now being voted on and made into laws and policies. As Ephesians 5:12 explains, “It is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret.” Whereas John 3:20 discusses how evil hides in the darkness so its deeds aren't exposed, we're seeing more and more in America, how it's pushing its way into the daylight, demanding to have a forefront place in our society.  Still, staying in peace doesn't mean we don't stand up for what is right in God's eyes. It's important we speak up for His truth, and it's also critically important that when we do, we forgo name-calling and disrespecting those who disagree with us. Where Peace Is Found Staying peaceful throughout Election Day and beyond requires looking to and relying on the peace that only God can give us. Our pathway to peace is found in Philippians 4:6-7: “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” Peace can only come from one source. As Jesus said in John 14:27 “Peace I leave with you; My peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” Intersecting Faith & Life: During this election season, ask God to guard your heart, mind, and tongue with His peace. Commit to praying for our nation and for those who disagree with you, asking the Holy Spirit to reveal God's truth to them.  Further Reading: 7 Ways to Love Your Family When You Disagree on Politics https://www.crosswalk.com/featured-plus-pdfs/7-ways-to-love-your-family-when-you-disagree-on-politics.html Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

The language of the Bible has often been invoked in American political discourse through the centuries. Scripture has been quoted by suffragists and secessionists, invoked in arguments for (and against) American independence, the Civil War, and each succeeding conflict, and cited by virtually every President across parties. So how should we discern a faithful application of scripture in public life from instrumentalizing the Bible for political purposes? What can we learn from America's history of using the Bible in politics?[insert quote]Kaitlyn Schiess, theologian, speaker, and author of the new book, The Ballot and The Bible: How Scripture Has Been Used and Abused In American Politics and Where We Go From Here, joined us on Friday, September 15 to help us examine America's history of using (and misusing) biblical language in politics, and explore what we can learn from the times Scripture has been wisely applied as well as egregiously misused. With a wide-ranging discussion covering history, hermeneutics, and political theology, she helped us consider the proper use of the Bible in political discourse.We hope this conversation sparks your creativity and encourages you to look differently at the small matters of life that matter a lot.This podcast is an edited version of an online conversation recorded in 2023.

This January marks the 51st anniversary of the Supreme Court's decision in Roe v. Wade that established a constitutional right to abortion. But 18 months ago, the Supreme Court took away that right in its decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization.In the aftermath of Dobbs, the landscape of reproductive rights around the country has sharply fractured. Fourteen states have enacted total bans on abortion, and seven more severely restrict access, according to the Guttmacher Institute, which describes the status of abortion rights in many states as “dismal.” One in five abortion patients now travel out of state for care.Vermont is one of seven states that have protected the right to abortion since Dobbs.Felicia Kornbluh has chronicled the rise and fall of reproductive rights in essays for the Washington Post, Time and other publications. Kornbluh is professor of history with appointments in Gender, Sexuality and Women's Studies and Jewish Studies at the University of Vermont. She is also vice president of the board of the Planned Parenthood of Vermont Action Fund and was a signatory to a “friend of the court” brief in the Dobbs case on behalf of the American Society for Legal History. Her latest book is “A Woman's Life is a Human Life: My Mother, Our Neighbor and the Journey from Reproductive Rights to Reproductive Justice,” which was released in paperback this month.Kornbluh is critical of the state-by-state approach to protecting abortion rights. In Ohio, where voters approved an abortion rights amendment in November, advocates for and against abortion spent a combined $70 million.“That's crazy,” said Kornbluh. “Thinking about political strategy, I just can't imagine how we can keep going. …We need a national solution.”Kornbluh said that the Women's Health Protection Act, which would expand abortion rights, could be that solution. It was originally proposed in Congress in 2013 and was reintroduced following the Dobbs decision. It passed the House in 2021 and narrowly lost in the Senate in 2022.“If we were able to have robust Democratic majorities in both the House and the Senate, then we would be able to pass that and we would be able to protect people's rights on the national level and do something different with that millions and millions of dollars…. to get us back to some kind of humane baseline in terms of abortion rights.”Medication abortions now account for more than half of abortions, and many states, including Vermont, are making plans to stockpile the medication in the event of a national ban. Kornbluh asserted that "what will continue to happen on the ground is far outpacing the effort of anti-abortion people and crotchety conservative judges who were trying to control it." She conceded, however, "They can still do damage."

How do Bible passages written thousands of years ago apply to politics today? What can we learn from America's history of using the Bible in politics? How can we converse with people whose views differ from our own?Our Guest this week Kaitlyn Schiess is the author of The Ballot and the Bible: How Scripture Has Been Used and Abused in American Politics and Where We Go from Here,  where she explores these questions and more. She unpacks examples of how Americans have connected the Bible to politics in the past, highlighting times it was applied well and times it was egregiously misused. Schiess combines American political history and biblical interpretation to help readers faithfully read Scripture, talk with others about it, and apply it to contemporary political issues--and to their lives. Rather than prescribing what readers should think about specific hot-button issues, Schiess outlines core biblical themes around power, allegiance, national identity, and more.Our Guests Bio, written by Kaitlyn:I'm a writer, author, and a doctoral student at Duke Divinity School studying political theology, ethics, and biblical interpretation. I graduated from Dallas Theological Seminary in 2021 with a ThM in systematic theology.I am the author of The Liturgy of Politics: Spiritual Formation for the Sake of Our Neighbor, released with InterVarsity Press in September 2020.

As climate change causes more storms and floods, residents of coastal areas are being forced to move inland—driving up rents and displacing current residents of those regions. Milliman recently studied this issue in a paper called “Climate Displacement in New York City: Making Space for Our Neighbors,” published with Rebuild by Design, a nonprofit that helps communities build resilience. On this episode of Critical Point, two of the study authors discuss the groups most at risk, designing Manhattan to be more like Hong Kong, and how 40% of New Yorkers may be displaced without proactive city planning.

Many adoptees - myself included - delay the search for our birth mothers for fear of rejection. We don't believe we could handle it. We are still feeling the aftershocks of the initial rejection. Lori shares what she's learned about surviving rejection, underestimating our emotional resilience and ability to bounce back. We both loved this deep and profound conversation and hope you do too.Here's a bit about Lori and her book:Jakiela is a Professor of English/Creative Writing at The University of Pittsburgh at Greensburg, where she directs the Creative & Professional Writing Program. She writes a monthly column, "Stories of Our Neighbors"–modeled on the work of the great oral historian Studs Terkel–for Pittsburgh Magazine, and is the recipient of multiple Golden Quill Awards from the Press Club of Western Pennsylvania. She has taught in the graduate MFA program at Chatham University, in the undergraduate writing program at The State University of New York at Purchase, classes and workshops for Creative Nonfiction Foundation, and is currently on the adjunct faculty of the Doctor of Ministry program in Creative Writing at the Pittsburgh Theological Seminary.  A former international flight attendant, she lives in her hometown, Trafford, PA, with her husband, the author Dave Newman, and their children.  After her adoptive mother's death, Lori Jakiela, at the age of forty, begins to seek the identity of her birth parents. In the midst of this loss, Jakiela also finds herself with a need to uncover her family's medical history to gather answers for her daughter's newly revealed medical ailments. This memoir brings together these parallel searches while chronicling intergenerational questions of family. Through her work, Jakiela examines both the lives we are born with and the lives we create for ourselves. Desires for emotional resolution comingle with concerns of medical inheritance and loss in this honest, humorous, and heartbreaking memoir.https://www.amazon.com/Belief-Its-Kind-Truth-Maybe/dp/1938769422https://twitter.com/lorijakielahttps://www.linkedin.com/in/lori-jakiela-2555716https://www.lorijakiela.net/

Prior to the Roe v. Wade decision in 1973, much of the focus of reproductive rights organizing in the US was done in the states, and nowhere was that more effective than in New York, where leftist feminists in groups like Redstockings and more mainstream activists in groups like the National Organization for Women (NOW) together pushed the state legislature to enact the most liberal abortion law in the country by early 1970. The wide range of reproductive rights activism in New York also included the headquarters for both the Clergy Consultation Service, which helped women find safe abortion care, and the Committee to End Sterilization Abuse (CESA), which fought the often deceptive population control inflicted on women of color.  Joining me to help us understand more about the push for reproductive rights in New York in the 1960s and 1970s is Dr. Felicia Kornbluh, a Professor of History and Gender, Sexuality, and Women's Studies at the University of Vermont, and the author of the upcoming book, A Woman's Life Is a Human Life: My Mother, Our Neighbor, and the Journey from Reproductive Rights to Reproductive Justice.
