Learn how informed voting, prioritizing identity in Jesus Christ, and cultivating a virtuous life can ensure your political involvement aligns with your calling as citizens of God's kingdom.

Quotes

"We were created for connection, relational connection. We're redeemed with connection and mind. So I think the presence piece also reminds each one of us of the importance of connection, practicing the presence of God in our daily life, experiencing his empowered presence wherever God has called us, and then also in community."

— Tom Nelson

"So I mean even though it's not perfect, even though it's hard, I do think we have a stewardship of voting and I think faithful presence as a Christians, there's more than voting, of course. But we should vote."

— Tom Nelson

"We talked about praying together but you know we were created to be connected to one another. And one of the great concerns I have, the evil one, is that the tendency of polarization and some of the things we're dealing with, it becomes very isolating. It's driven by fear and anxiety. And God designed his church and people to find connection with each other, encouragement, not fear but connection."

— Tom Nelson

3 Main Takeaways

1. The Power of Prayer: Highlights the importance of fervent and regular prayer for spiritual awakening in the church, culture, and nation, promoting a renewed love for Jesus and profound societal impacts.

2. Faithful Presence in Politics: The episode emphasizes Christians maintaining their primary identity in Jesus Christ while engaging in politics. It discusses "faithful presence" and the cultivation of virtues like love, peace, and patience for meaningful and non-polarizing engagement.

3. Community and Informed Conversations: Emphasis is placed on being informed voters, especially at the local level, and fostering sensitive, face-to-face discussions within the community. The goal is to normalize conversations about differing opinions and focus on personal and communal growth during election seasons.
