The Church Politics Podcast

I never thought I’d find a political podcast that commits to using a respectful tone and discussing topics with thoughtful nuance. I especially appreciate their ability to name strengths & weaknesses of any politician, policy, or political party. These gentlemen are a breath of fresh air!

This podcast was recommended by the senior pastor of a large LCMS Lutheran Church, with the understanding that the hosts do not take sides on social issues but rather analyze them from a biblical worldview. Based on this recommendation, I have been listening for the past six months to better understand their perspective and message. However, I have come to realize that this podcast leans left and frequently criticizes conservative viewpoints, while often serving as an apologist for the left. While they do offer some strong pro-life positions, this is where their adherence to a biblical worldview seems to end. Typically, a single verse of scripture is cited, followed by an extensive justification of left-leaning positions through a Social Justice lens. I believe Christians should be cautious of the messaging presented. If you choose to listen, I encourage you to critically evaluate their content against a biblical worldview.

Do yourself a favor, make this podcast a priority and a immediate listen every time it drops.

I so appreciate what you are doing in discussing politics and faith in a really fair and non partisan way. Thank you for that! I am a Christian who has struggled with both the Republican Party and Democratic Party and am not sure what to think. Your Ukraine comments are very troubling to me, however. A country that has struggled with corruption but also with the desire to align themselves with the west need our help not our condemnation. I live in a conservative state with a Republican senator that has assured me that all of the money we give is accounted for in Ukraine. Please check into Maia .Mikhaluk’s account on Facebook to get a first hand account of a strong Christian woman and the ordeal they have over in Ukraine. God bless you.
