After all the arguments and broken relationships that resulted from the 2016 and 2020 elections, here we are, starting all over again. For anyone tired of the modern political climate, today’s episode with Michael Wear is for you.
Wear is the founder, president and CEO of the Center for Christianity and Public Life, a nonpartisan, nonprofit institution based in the nation’s capital. A former White House staffer and presidential campaign staffer, Wear has extensive knowledge of the political process and how Christians can participate in it with hope.
In this episode, Wear and Moore discuss Wear’s new book, The spirit of our policy: spiritual formation and renovation of public life. They reflect on what a positive and spiritually formed vision of political engagement could be. Their conversation includes understanding why Christians find themselves on opposing sides on political issues. They explore what the Bible says about government and talk about the role of pastors in politics. And they think about how the truth of the gospel can shape political participation in a broken world.
