What does President Trump's victory mean for Christians locally and globally? How should we respond as believers?
In this episode, we dive deep into the challenging intersection of faith and politics in today’s polarized society. Join us as we discuss how to stay grounded in faith amidst political tension, both personally and in community settings like church, family, and the workplace. With election day as our backdrop, we tackle tough questions on engaging in political discussions as Christians, avoiding partisan pitfalls, and embracing kingdom-focused values.
Our team of pastors explores practical ways to pastor and lead through polarization, the importance of prayer for elected leaders, and holding onto core Christian principles over political allegiances. We discuss perspectives from global churches on handling political conflict, and insights from studies like Hidden Tribes of America on the “exhausted majority” caught between extreme views.
Whether you’re looking to build a resilient faith in a secular world or seeking guidance on managing post-election conversations, this episode is filled with wisdom, humility, and practical tools for Christian engagement in politics.

Series: 7 Rhythms of a Resilient Faith Rhythm: Community
Scripture: Acts 4:36-5:11
 
Are you longing for community? So many of us desire community because we’re tired of feeling lonely, but at the same time we’re afraid to seek community because we’re afraid we won’t be accepted. I want to invite you to consider what kind of community the Bible invites you, and all of us, into. ---
