Episode 41: Christians and Politics

In this episode of the Light and Life podcast, host Liza Cunningham sits down with Pastor Tim McConnell to discuss the often complex relationship between Christianity and politics, especially as election season approaches. They explore how Christians can approach voting and political discussions through the lens of faith, focusing on loving God and loving neighbor. While the church is often seen through a political lens, Tim emphasizes that the kingdom of God is much bigger than any political system. They also tackle the challenge of maintaining unity in a divisive climate and encourage listeners to engage thoughtfully, remembering that the person across from them is an eternal soul. Ultimately, they highlight the importance of voting in good conscience, balancing character and policy, and striving for the common good in a way that reflects Christian values.
