info_outlineOn this episode of Wisdom Talks, Join Rachael and Rob in part 2 of our politically charged series as we dive into the intersection of faith and politics, just 21 days before the pivotal 2024 Election. In a world where Christians are often accused of being too political or labeled as Christian Nationalists, we tackle these tough questions head-on.
Is focusing on the gospel enough? Should Christians disengage from politics? We explore the biblical foundations of political engagement, emphasizing that both the Great Commission and our role in society are not at odds, but rather complementary missions.
