Election Special | Engaging Biblically as Christians In Politics | Thabiti Anyabwile

The Co-Mission Podcast

With the UK general election looming this week, we wanted to share a timely episode quickly with you we recorded over the weekend at our yearly bible festival REVIVE. The talk is From Thabiti Anyawile, our guest speaker through the weekend. We pray it's helpful as we wade into conversations and big decisions around politics and elections. Thabiti is the pastor at Anacostia River Church in Washington DC. We were blessed to have him and his wife Kristie speak to us over the weekend.
