Episode 5 - Demonic Partisan Vitriol with Andrew Williams & Mark Chester

CULTURAL ISSUE: Partisan Vitriol

We dive into the pervasive issue of partisan vitriol and the difficulty of navigating a two-party system. We acknowledge the understandable desire to keep politics out of church discussions, given how partisan politics can be wielded as a bludgeoning force. The binary divide forces individuals into an either/or stance, requiring them to adopt the identity of LEFT or RIGHT. This demonization of the opposing side creates an unsafe environment for policy discussions. However, this language reflects the preferences of those in power.

BIBLICAL REFRAMING

Andrew leads a discussion on the role of the church, the polis, and how biblical principles can guide us through the complexities of political partisanship.

IDEAS: Truth over Tribe

We wrap up with practical ideas on how to prioritize truth over tribal allegiance, fostering a community that values honest discourse and mutual respect. Tune in for a candid and insightful conversation that challenges us to rise above partisan divides and seek the Kingdom of God in all aspects of our lives.
