Gospel & Politics: Rebecca McLaughlin

Ask the Pastor with J.D. Greear

This week’s Ask the Pastor episode kicks off our brand new series, Gospel & Politics. This series will feature Pastor J.D. with other respected leaders talking about how we can integrate both the gospel and politics into our lives this election season.

A glimpse inside this episode:

• Secular beliefs often have Christian foundations, and Christians should recognize the influence of their faith in shaping moral values.
• The witness of the church is not about being good people, but about recognizing our need for Jesus and sharing the gospel with others.
• The decline in church attendance presents an evangelistic opportunity, as many people are searching for meaning and purpose.
• Christians should engage in politics and vote according to their Christian values, while also recognizing the limitations of legislation in enforcing personal beliefs.
• Christian engagement in politics can have a significant impact, and Christians should strive for a holistic understanding of scripture in shaping political discourse.
