Tina Yeager sits down with Justin Giboney—an ordained minister, attorney, political strategist, and president of the AND Campaign—to tackle one of the most urgent questions facing Christians today: How can we promote social justice and truth while fostering Christlike relational unity in today's divisive and combative times?
Drawing from his latest book, Don’t Let Nobody Turn You Around, Justin Giboney explores the deep divisions within the church and how Christians can move beyond partisanship and ideology to embrace true Christlike engagement. Together, Tina Yeager and Justin Giboney discuss why it’s vital for believers to listen with humility, lead with grace, and pursue justice anchored in biblical truth—while resisting the urge to reduce people to political abstractions.
They reflect on the legacy of those who founded the civil rights movement, the importance of valuing both truth and compassion, and practical ways Christians can stand for justice without compromising love or respect for others. Whether you’re feeling discouraged by division or searching for a better way to engage, this episode offers wisdom and encouragement for anyone longing to see the church become a healing force in today’s world.
Some key takeaways from our discussion:
-
Lead with Humility and Grace: Justin emphasized the need for intellectual humility and the importance of seeing those with opposing views as redeemable and worthy of respect, even in passionate disagreements.
-
Root Justice in Truth: He reminded us that social justice efforts must remain deeply connected to biblical truth and compassion. Pursuing change outside of these boundaries risks undermining both our message and our mission.
-
Listen for Understanding: One practical challenge Justin lays out is to truly seek out and understand the BEST arguments of those we disagree with, moving past significant division and stereotypes to foster genuine dialogue and transformation.
