Podcasts about political involvement

Discernment: Cruciformity is Active, Not Passive. On this episode of the Voxology podcast, Mike Erre and Tim Stafford focus on discernment in faith, the essence of Christian identity, and the importance of critiquing ideologies rather than individuals. They emphasize the need for community engagement and humanizing conversations across divides, particularly in the context of immigration and societal issues. Further, Tim and Mike explore the complexities of homelessness, systemic issues, and the role of faith in addressing societal challenges. They discuss the importance of understanding the root causes of homelessness, the church's responsibility in promoting human flourishing, and the significance of inclusivity at Jesus' table. The dialogue also delves into the church's political involvement, the concept of cruciformity, and the challenges of navigating emotional overload while advocating for justice. Ultimately, they emphasize the need for a Christ-like approach to engagement in the world.

Are we mistaking media consumption for political engagement? In this episode, Kaitlyn Schiess joins The Biblical Mind Podcast to challenge the way Christians think about politics, faith, and media. She explains why binge-watching C-SPAN or endlessly scrolling Twitter doesn't make us politically engaged—but actually forms us into people less capable of real advocacy. Dru and Kaitlyn discuss the modern obsession with national politics, why Christians ignore their local communities, and how the church provides a model of meaningful engagement. Instead of trying to "change the world" through social media outrage, Kaitlyn argues that real political involvement means knowing your neighbors, understanding local government, and prioritizing embodied relationships. They also explore the role of Christian media consumption, asking whether 24-hour news, partisan social feeds, and political influencers have become a form of secular discipleship. How can Christians discern which voices are trustworthy? And how can the church offer a healthier alternative? We are listener supported.

In this episode of the Biblical Anarchy Podcast, host Jacob Winograd responds to a video by Redeemed Zoomer, utilizing various clips to dissect and debate Redeemed Zoomer's perspectives on Christian political involvement, the separation of church and state, and the concept of Christian nationalism. Jacob, while not being himself Presbyterian, is influenced by reformed theology. He engages with Redeemed Zoomer's ideal of Presbyterian political theology, which advocates for moral influence over secular governance through a "two kingdoms" framework. While Jacob appreciates certain theological insights, he challenges the idea that nations should collectively submit to Christ and critiques the historical Presbyterian notion of a Christian state, arguing for a distinction between civil governance and coercive enforcement of religious beliefs.Throughout the episode, Jacob delves into the historical debate within reformed traditions over establishmentarianism, referring to the 1700s American Presbytery's revision of the Westminster Confession to reject civil government enforcing religious principles. He emphasizes the necessity of Christians being politically engaged without enforcing Christianity on others, advocating for civil justice influenced by Christian ethics without resorting to theonomy. By comparing different governance structures and exploring biblical prescriptions, Jacob positions his argument within a Christian libertarian framework, promoting voluntaryism as a non-coercive alternative better aligned with Christian values. The episode ultimately aims to clarify misconceptions and encourage further dialogue, positioning the Biblical Anarchy Podcast as a platform for thoughtful and historically informed discussions on the intersection of faith and politics.Full Episode Show Notes at BiblicalAnarchyPodcast.comThe Biblical Anarchy Podcast is part of the Christians For Liberty Network, a project of the Libertarian Christian Institute.

One of the things they love to argue about the most is politics. In fact,…

We live, my fellow Americans, in the greatest nation in the history of mankind. There is not, nor has there ever been, a nation like:THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.Never.It is a nation conceived in freedom. It treasures and fosters democracy. It is a constitutional nation, and it is a nation where, as Dr. Martin Luther King so well said, if in fact its citizens live up to its constitution, treasure it, believe in it, and enforce it, all men and women who are created equal can live a life to the fullest.AMERICA. What is America to you? Do you understand your country, your nation, its history, its purpose and meaning, the reality of the:REAL AMERICA?Do you? Right-thinking men and women thank God every day, EVERYDAY, for the privilege of living in America and being an American. Do you? Are you a grateful citizen, are you proud to be an American, and since this great country can do so much for you, remember the words of President John F. Kennedy, who admonished us to:ASK NOT WHAT AMERICA CAN DO FOR YOUASK WHAT YOU CAN DO FOR AMERICA!That in my opinion should be the motto of every real American.THE AMERICAN CONSTITUTION. Please read it. Do your best to understand it. Study anything which helps you understand the incredible rights, privileges, and duties which are yours as a citizen and as an American. Think always about the First Amendment to that Constitution, perhaps the finest words, rights, privileges, opportunities, and expressions of freedom ever written in the history of mankind. The First Amendment of America's Constitution allows you full and unabridged freedom of:RELIGIONSPEECHPRESSASSEMBLYPETITIONThese precious freedoms are the very best that can be offered to any human being and they are essential, priorities, GUARANTEED to every man and woman by this Constitution and its very precious First Amendment. Read it, know it, treasure it, and thank God for it.RULE OF LAW. It is watered down, ignored, or even eliminated in this woke and radical, anti-American day and age. Lawlessness in the end times, says the scripture, prevails and runs rampant. That is happening today. Stand up, my fellow Americans, to lawlessness and insist upon the rule of law, insist upon the concept of:JUSTICE FOR ALL.There is risk in so doing, but the reward is well worth the risk.RIGHT AND WRONG. There are those today that think there is no such thing as right and wrong. There is no absolute truth. This is the day and age of:THE LIE.We live in an age which many describe as:POST TRUTH.That is, we live in a culture where there is no such thing as absolute truth and consequently, the lie, that which is not truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, is the law of the land. WRONG, dead wrong. There is right and wrong, there is truth, and never forget in this great year 2025, the words of our Lord Jesus Christ:I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE!I AM THE TRUTH!Believe in Him and you will know the truth indeed.STAND. Stand tall for America. Protect it. Founding Fathers were willing to die for it. Are you? Am I? Are there enough Americans left who are willing to do whatever is required to protect and defend the greatest land in the history of mankind?So much of the world despises, even hates America. Perhaps that is because we live hypocritically, we do not stand tall for our ideals, our freedoms, and our way of life, and we are not consistent, constantly compromising, and so often not holding individuals and nations accountable for their actions. We the People need to redefine who we are as a nation, make those ideals, values, and standards clear, and stand for them no matter the cost, now more than ever in the great year 2025.POLITICAL INVOLVEMENT. We the People need to be far more politically involved. Especially Christian citizens. We need to be active in government. We need to take positions of authority locally and to make certain our neighborhoods, towns, andcities, are safe, law-abiding, and true to American ideals, its constitution, rule of law, and way of life. WE THE PEOPLE NEED TO STAND UP! We need to make certain right-thinking and right-acting men and women are elected to office, who will truly represent us, and even more importantly, our Constitution, rule of law, and all that America should be. WE THE PEOPLE NEED TO MAKE CERTAIN THAT HAPPENS! If not, we need to speak out critically so, aggressively, withhold financing, and our vote, and where necessary, exercise the process of recall and do whatever we can to get elected or appointed officials unworthy of citizen trust out of office and authority. WE THE PEOPLE NEED TO STAND UP BEFORE ITS TOO LATE!WOKE, THE PROGRESSIVE, THE ANTI-AMERICAN. They are everywhere, EVERYWHERE! They are determined to effectuate radical change or even in so many cases, the destruction of the American way of life. They would water down or eliminate much of our Constitution, curtail our freedoms, control family and education, and change the way we live, think, and believe. DON'T LET IT HAPPEN MY FELLOW AMERICANS, DON'T LET IT HAPPEN! Time is short. America needs right-thinking Americans in action now more than ever.PRIDE. Be proud 2025 to be an American. Be proud to be a citizen of the real America, the constitutional America, with its freedoms, and be proud to stand tall as America beckons, asking you now more than ever to be a soldier in the fight for freedom.Wear the flag, salute the military, proudly sing, and respect the National Anthem:STAND UP FOR AMERICA.Pray that God will bless America, convicted of its wrong doings, and once again make it the city on the hill, the shining light among nations, a country safe and protected for us today and for our descendants tomorrow. Let us proudly sing in 2025:GOD BLESS AMERICALAND THAT I LOVE!

With so much going on in culture and society, it's easy to drown yourself in the sea of relevant issues that need to be addressed. Unfortunately, so much of what we see and hear is largely outside of our control. But you can control yourself. And, that's the good news. Today, I'm joined by Kyle Thompson with Undaunted Life to talk about how to do just that. We discuss ignorance and initiative, why diversity alone doesn't really mean much, what Kyle has dubbed, “the 11th Commandment,” why compromise isn't all it's cracked up to be, and how to be the man your people need you to be.

Three Reformed Evangelical ministries recently addressed political questions during election year 2024. Topics like Christian Nationalism, voting, the church's political involvement etc. were all addressed. Jon reviews Mark Dever, Jesse Johnson, and Ligon Duncan's opinions about church/state relationships and Christian political involvement. Note: Jesse Johnson did give a presentation at Shepherd's Conference this year on Christian Nationalism but it has not been released yet. The presentation I critique is from Feb 3, 2024 but is the same talk that Johnson gave at Shepherd's Conference 2023. #ChristianNationalism #ShepherdsConference #TheGospelCoalition #9Marks00:00:00 Introduction00:12:24 9 Marks: How Should Christians View the Government?00:20:33 (Same Presentation at Shepherds 2023): "Coveting Cesar's Throne: The Case Against Christian Nationalism"01:32:21 TGC: What Does It Mean to Be a Christian Nationalist?Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/conversations-that-matter8971/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

We live, my fellow Americans, in the greatest nation in the history of mankind. There is not, nor has there ever been, a nation like:THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.Never.It is a nation conceived in freedom. It treasures and fosters democracy. It is a constitutional nation, and it is a nation where, as Dr. Martin Luther King so well said, if in fact its citizens live up to its constitution, treasure it, believe in it, and enforce it, all men and women who are created equal can live a life to the fullest.AMERICA. What is America to you? Do you understand your country, your nation, its history, its purpose and meaning, the reality of the:REAL AMERICA?Do you? Right-thinking men and women thank God every day, EVERYDAY, for the privilege of living in America and being an American. Do you? Are you a grateful citizen, are you proud to be an American, and since this great country can do so much for you, remember the words of President John F. Kennedy, who admonished us to:ASK NOT WHAT AMERICA CAN DO FOR YOUASK WHAT YOU CAN DO FOR AMERICA!That in my opinion should be the motto of every real American.THE AMERICAN CONSTITUTION. Please read it. Do your best to understand it. Study anything which helps you understand the incredible rights, privileges, and duties which are yours as a citizen and as an American. Think always about the First Amendment to that Constitution, perhaps the finest words, rights, privileges, opportunities, and expressions of freedom ever written in the history of mankind. The First Amendment of America's Constitution allows you full and unabridged freedom of:RELIGIONSPEECHPRESSASSEMBLYPETITIONThese precious freedoms are the very best that can be offered to any human being and they are essential, priorities, GUARANTEED to every man and woman by this Constitution and its very precious First Amendment. Read it, know it, treasure it, and thank God for it.RULE OF LAW. It is watered down, ignored, or even eliminated in this woke and radical, anti-American day and age. Lawlessness in the end times, says the scripture, prevails and runs rampant. That is happening today. Stand up, my fellow Americans, to lawlessness and insist upon the rule of law, insist upon the concept of:JUSTICE FOR ALL.There is risk in so doing, but the reward is well worth the risk.RIGHT AND WRONG. There are those today that think there is no such thing as right and wrong. There is no absolute truth. This is the day and age of:THE LIE.We live in an age which many describe as:POST TRUTH.That is, we live in a culture where there is no such thing as absolute truth and consequently, the lie, that which is not truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, is the law of the land. WRONG, dead wrong. There is right and wrong, there is truth, and never forget in this great year 2024, the words of our Lord Jesus Christ:I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE!I AM THE TRUTH!Believe in Him and you will know the truth indeed.STAND. Stand tall for America. Protect it. Founding Fathers were willing to die for it. Are you? Am I? Are there enough Americans left who are willing to do whatever is required to protect and defend the greatest land in the history of mankind?So much of the world despises, even hates America. Perhaps that is because we live hypocritically, we do not stand tall for our ideals, our freedoms, and our way of life, and we are not consistent, constantly compromising, and so often not holding individuals and nations accountable for their actions. We the People need to redefine who we are as a nation, make those ideals, values, and standards clear, and stand for them no matter the cost, now more than ever in the great year 2024.POLITICAL INVOLVEMENT. We the People need to be far more politically involved. Especially Christian citizens. We need to be active in government. We need to take positions of authority locally and to make certain our neighborhoods, towns, andcities, are safe, law-abiding, and true to American ideals, its constitution, rule of law, and way of life. WE THE PEOPLE NEED TO STAND UP! We need to make certain right-thinking and right-acting men and women are elected to office, who will truly represent us, and even more importantly, our Constitution, rule of law, and all that America should be. WE THE PEOPLE NEED TO MAKE CERTAIN THAT HAPPENS! If not, we need to speak out critically so, aggressively, withhold financing, and our vote, and where necessary, exercise the process of recall and do whatever we can to get elected or appointed officials unworthy of citizen trust out of office and authority. WE THE PEOPLE NEED TO STAND UP BEFORE ITS TOO LATE!WOKE, THE PROGRESSIVE, THE ANTI-AMERICAN. They are everywhere, EVERYWHERE! They are determined to effectuate radical change or even in so many cases, the destruction of the American way of life. They would water down or eliminate much of our Constitution, curtail our freedoms, control family and education, and change the way we live, think, and believe. DON'T LET IT HAPPEN MY FELLOW AMERICANS, DON'T LET IT HAPPEN! Time is short. America needs right-thinking Americans in action now more than ever.PRIDE. Be proud 2024 to be an American. Be proud to be a citizen of the real America, the constitutional America, with its freedoms, and be proud to stand tall as America beckons, asking you now more than ever to be a soldier in the fight for freedom.Wear the flag, salute the military, proudly sing, and respect the National Anthem:STAND UP FOR AMERICA.Pray that God will bless America, convicted of its wrong doings, and once again make it the city on the hill, the shining light among nations, a country safe and protected for us today and for our descendants tomorrow. Let us proudly sing in 2024:GOD BLESS AMERICALAND THAT I LOVE!

In the absence of regulation, we are ultimately at the mercy of social media platforms and their algorithms. This week, host Elisa welcomes Joshua Tucker, Professor of Politics at NYU, to discuss his extensive research on American elections, including voter influence through social media and how broad public opinions are formed on and off these platforms. How do you go about accessing this kind of data from platforms like Twitter, Facebook and TikTok? Does Youtube's algorithm push people towards extreme content? And how can we better regulate TikTok in particular, a Chinese controlled platform that's gained huge popularity in the U.S.?

State Representative Jon Rosenthal visits with us today. He will discuss the state of our democracy and how election deniers are disrupting our democracy. This is not a Texas issue. It is a national issue that is fundamentally a clear and present danger. Representative Jon Rosenthal has been in Texas since 1979. He graduated from The University of Texas at Austin in 1991 where Jon earned his Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering. He has since worked for over 25 years as a Project Manager, Engineering Manager, and Subsea Systems Engineer in and around the oil & gas industry. Representative Rosenthal has been a strong fighter, advocate, and champion for better public schools, and healthcare and ensuring we have comprehensive criminal justice reform across the State of Texas. Jon was honored to receive the Freshman of the Year award from the non-partisan Legislative Study Group, the second largest caucus in the Texas State House dedicated to developing mainstream solutions and advancing sound public policy benefitting all Texans. Jon was reelected to the Texas Legislature by more than 6,000 votes. Yet, his MAGA election-denying opponent is now challenging the election.

Topics include: - Book of Mormon Types and Warnings - Inspired Questions to Reveal Secret Combinations - Media, PR, and Incumbent Relations- Challenges of a One-Party Approach- Keys to Positive Involvement, Despite Systemic CorruptionAs a citizen in Utah, Marci worked with thousands of volunteers and partnered with businesses to successfully defeat the 2019 tax reform bill through a tax referendum. This is where she began to ask some of the hard questions regarding the state of affairs in Utah beginning with the internal question: Why are they lying?After the tax referendum, she was encouraged by many to run for state senate in the 2020 election where she witnessed an array of underground systemic political problems. Since that time, she has been regularly involved in grassroots political efforts and campaigns.Marci's background in business, together with a masters in counseling and PhD in Human Development and Family Sciences has facilitated her ability to see possible problems in government.

The central role of government and therefore the political process is to uphold justice, advocate for the poor, provide security, and establish order. King David gives the clearest statements about the blessings of good government and therefore helps steer a course toward God-honoring political involvement. I will call it the Goldilocks approach to political activism.Scriptures Referenced: 2 Samuel 23:2-7Psalm 72:1-5

“You know the garlic is USA grown when it's grown by Christopher Ranch.” - Lori   With the rise of awareness and education, consumers are becoming more conscious regarding the sourcing of their produce. When seeking responsibly sourced garlic, look no further than Ken Christopher and his family at Christopher Ranch, the only family-owned garlic farm in the United States. The ranch is rich with family legacy and has its roots deep in the California soil.   Their story began with Ole Christopher who migrated from Denmark in the 1880s in hopes of finding land to settle. His grandson, Don, learned the ropes of farming from his father and grandfather and then bought 10 acres of his own to begin farming garlic. In the past 60 years, Christopher Ranch has scaled those 10 acres into over 5,000, and last year harvested 110 million pounds of California Heirloom Garlic. If you were to visit the ranch today, you would find that they are still family owned and operated, brother, father, grandson, and cousins working side-by-side to grow and harvest exceptional produce.   “It's so critically important for us to not be holed into a faceless corporate board or faceless directors interested only in profits. As a truly family run company, we can do what is best for our product, what is best for our legacy, and what's best for our community.” - Ken Christopher   While Christopher Ranch is a leading supplier of garlic, they are also invested in making a positive impact in their community. They have provided scholarships for area schools, vehicles for sports programs, and even donated Chrome Books to each classroom in the local school.   In the past year, Christopher Ranch has ignited change in the political arena. Illegal Chinese garlic imports have been an issue for garlic farmers since the 1990s. Hundreds of millions of pounds of garlic illegally make their way into the US each year, pulling down the price of international commodities. Because of Ken Christopher's relentless pursuit of action, on September 24th a new tariff for garlic went into effect.   “We find education to be the silver bullet for so many of our society's ills.” - Ken Christopher   Look for a Christopher Ranch product in a produce aisle near you! FInd information about Christopher Ranch, their products, and delicious recipes at christopherranch.com. Some Topics we talk about in this episode:   Introduction // Ken Christopher - 1:17 Family Owned and Operated  - 6:25 Community Impact - 6:34 Political Involvement - 10:17 Unique Garlic Product Offerings - 13:20 Ken's Favorite Way to Eat Garlic - 16:38 Wrap-up - 17:36   How to get involved Join The Produce Moms Group on Facebook and continue the discussion every week! https://www.facebook.com/groups/316715662104709/ Reach out to us - we'd love to hear more about where you're at in life and business!

Sexy Spirituality Episode #18 The Spirituality of the Law   Hosts Lezli Goodwin Kimjera Whittington Sonia Byrne Guest Host: Sara Awad   Opening Chat We share the fun of holiday baking, including putting our teenagers to work making cookies and fudge.   The Spirituality of the Law When we think of spiritual centers, we generally think of what happens on the platform on Sundays.  But in the modern world of non-profits, our ministers are also expected to be CEOs. With little or no legal training, ministers are expected to learn on the job -- but there is a better way. Centers for Spiritual Living offers a legal team to help, as well as a series of classes to help ministers and their Boards run smoothly BEFORE a problem happens. In the US, Centers for Spiritual Living are 501c3 organizations. Can Centers fund raise or make money without generating a really large tax bill.  There are some wonderful exceptions for non[profits. Volunteer Exceptions: When all of the work is performed by volunteers, it's tax-free, even when it's a competitive business. Volunteers can't be paid or accept tips at all. Convenience Exception: When activity is conducted for the convenience of our members, it's tax free.  We can't advertise or compete with outside businesses, but if we operate just for our own people, it's free from business tax.  (Sales tax may still apply.) Passive Income Exception: Anything passive, we don't pay any tax on it.  Rentals are a huge example of that. Any income derived from rental of real property is tax-free, which is a good tax=free source of income.  This counts for parking lots, as well. Services are taxed on a normal rate, so be aware of that.  Remember, it has to be completely passive. Operations can be a real challenge, especially for new Centers.  CSL is creating a Head Start program for new Centers, making sure their governing documents are in working order from the very beginning. Crises are caused by issues with Policy & Procedure Manuals, with Centers only realizing they need a policy when something unexpected happens.  We see issues with situations like challenges with emotional support animals, contract employees who post on social media ideas that are inappropriate, questionable states of dress on Sundays and more. Home Office is developing a template for a global Policies & Procedures Manual, which they hope will be available by the end of the year. Legal 101 for Ministers is a class that is offered, along with Legal Academy for Boards and Ministers. Liability with volunteers is a huge issue, and you need to screen volunteers the same way you screen regular employees.   Lezli's Center puts every volunteer that works with youth through a full security check, using Trak-1, https://portal.trak-1.com/ Political Involvement can be an interesting issue.  Centers can't participate in partisan political activities, supporting or opposing a candidate or party for political office.  We CAN work on issues, with lobbying (petitions, calls to action, education, etc.) CSL encourages Centers to get involved with social engagement.   Something Good Sonia We are scheduling 2019 sessions of Business & Branding, a Spiritual Entrepreneurship Program for Practitioner Success.  $379, which includes 2 coaching sessions.
