We connect the greatest commandments to everyday civic responsibility and argue that Christian faith cannot stay sealed off from the public square. We make the case that voting and political participation are acts of stewardship rooted in love of God, love of neighbor, and a commitment to human flourishing. • cultural pressure to let Christians exist only in private spaces • why low Christian voter turnout changes election outcomes • the Shema as a core command for devoted Christian life • Jesus affirming the Shema and adding love of neighbor • politics as an outworking of biblical morality and justice • voting and advocacy as stewardship with real downstream effects Share this podcast around and leave us a five star rating and review.
