AAre modern Christians focusing too much or not enough on their identity? How should Christians consider injecting their beliefs into civic leadership? What words of wisdom could be given to church leaders who are asked questions about public policy?
These are some of the hot listener questions that Russell and producer Ashley Hales discuss in this episode of The Russell Moore Show. They tell the story of how Jesus crossed a cultural context where political alignment was hypervalued. And they reflect on what it means to thrive in times of confusion.
Questions covered during this episode include:
- Where does Russell get his news?
- How can Christians focus on their identity in Christ?
- What is the relationship between Christians and culture?
- How can church leaders be wise when addressing issues of politics and public policy?
- What should Christians do when the churches in their community preach dogma rather than doctrine?
- What do love and justice look like in practical, concrete terms (like street signs)?
- Why aren’t people tired of perpetual panic?
- What does it look like to have hope?
