The Good Citizen
Knowing how to be a good Christian and a good citizen at the same time is not always easy. It can be difficult to know who you should vote for or how you should help your local community. The good citizen makes a good argument that as Christians our faith should consist of more than just sitting on a chair or pew on Sunday, but should instead consist of being more faith active in our daily lives and following Christ’s example. Helping the poor, showing compassion to the sick, and loving our neighbors (no matter what they look like). The Good citizen touches on several important issues such as: racial injustice, religious liberty, freedom of speech, equality, Biblical doctrine, and Christian ethics. This is a very informative podcast and is sure to hit a topic or subject matter you might find interesting.
