What if avoiding politics isn’t protecting the Church, but surrendering to the culture?
In this LIVE FREE bonus episode, Pastors Josh Howerton, Ryan Visconti, and Josh McPherson tackle one of the most pressing questions facing Christians today: Should the Church avoid politics, or is civic engagement part of biblical discipleship? Through a powerful conversation on the Great Commission, cultural leadership, and Christian statesmanship, they unpack why silence in the public square may actually hinder long-term flourishing for families, churches, and future generations. This episode challenges believers to think beyond partisan labels and embrace a comprehensive biblical worldview that applies God’s truth to every area of life—including government, policy, and culture.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why many pastors are rethinking political disengagement
- How policy impacts discipleship, family, and church health
- What Christian statesmanship means biblically
- Why the Great Commission includes cultural responsibility
- How to think about politics through a biblical worldview
- Why “If godly people won’t lead, godless people will” is a crucial warning
Stand firm. Think biblically. Live free.
