    Should Christians Be In Politics?

    Politics is discipling people every day. The real question isn’t whether Christians should engage in politics.The real question is: Will politics disciple you, or will Christ? If Jesus is Lord — not a candidate, not a party, not a president — then our engagement must look different. In this video, Chandler unpacks three convictions for faithful Christian political engagement: • Formation Before Expression — Are you shaped more by prayer or by algorithms?• Conviction with Humility — Confidence is cheap. Competence is rare.• Scripture Over Tribe — If your party defines your theology, your theology is already compromised. This isn’t about left vs. right.It’s about lordship. How should Christians engage politically without drifting into idolatry? Let’s talk.

    How to Ruin Your 2026...

    What if the fastest way to grow spiritually… is to first learn how people lose their way? In this episode of The Holy Middle, Chandler Petrak flips the script and walks through the surprisingly common habits that quietly sabotage our relationship with God. From replacing intimacy with routine, to comparing your calling to someone else’s highlight reel, to isolating yourself in seasons where you need community most — these patterns are more normal than we think… and more dangerous than we admit. Chandler shares personal stories, pastoral insight, and practical resets to help you recognize where your spiritual life may be drifting — and how to realign before burnout, cynicism, or stagnation set in. If you’ve ever felt stuck, dry, or quietly frustrated in your walk with God, this conversation will put language to what you’re experiencing — and point you toward a better way forward.
