Should You Support Leaders You Didn't Vote For? (95) The Influencers Podcast
-
- Christianity
What is your immediate reaction when you hear news about leaders on the "other side of the aisle"? Disdain, anger, empathy? Like President Trump, the Biden Administration has been very polarizing to our Nation, creating trenches of division fueled by mockery and plain hate. We as Christians face a difficult decision as we weigh honor with speaking up against immoral decisions by governors, school boards, and Congress. Many look to President Biden's recent decisions around expanding access to medication abortions in response to the overturning of Roe v Wade, strict directives around transgender policy at federally funded institutions, domestic oil drilling and gas prices, COVID-19 politics, and more as reason enough to write him off, waiting impatiently for a change during the midterm elections in November and 2024. Scott Young, co-host of The Influencers Podcast and Lead Pastor of Church of Hope in Sarasota, FL, shares his thoughts on praying for leaders we didn't vote for and gives context to the societal pressures faced by the early church and compares them to what we face today. Unpacking 1 Timothy 2, he reveals why it’s important to ask God to help them, intercede on their behalf, and thank God for them. We have to ask ourselves, do our thoughts and conversations around politics follow the mandate of Scripture or the emotions of culture?
