Are we being discipled by Jesus or by political candidates, parties, and secular media? Should disciples of Jesus participate in politics, and if so, how? How do we resist the temptation to make politics into an idol? These are just a few of the pressing questions discussed in this candid conversation between Wes McAdams and Chris McCurley.
As election season looms, this episode offers practical wisdom for anyone seeking to navigate the political landscape without compromising their faith. Throughout the conversation, Wes and Chris explore the biblical call to loyalty to Christ's kingdom above all else. They reflect on passages from books like Isaiah and James, explaining how idolatry can take root when we give ultimate allegiance to worldly systems. The discussion emphasizes the importance of love, peace, and unity within the church, reminding listeners that our identity in Christ must take precedence over political affiliations.
