Welcome to the Leadership Now podcast with Dr. Aaron Rock, hosted on Beachhead Media.

Aaron asserted as a pastor, a professor, a chaplain, a writer, and a speaker, and he has a keen interest in helping other Christians to think Christianly about all life.

On this show, we like to talk about the nuts and bolts of theology, church life, leadership, ethics, and other relevant

matters that will help you to lead better now.

I'm your host Eric Oltrop, and we are on our third episode and our series on Khyperian

politics.

And in this series, we're studying the political philosophy of the late Dutch Prime Minister Abraham Kuyper.

But our purpose goes beyond just a history lesson in this series.

We aim to help people arrive at a biblical and practical view of politics.

So, Aaron, by way of review, who is this series for?

I have three categories of people in mind that I think will benefit from this discussion.

First would be our opponents, those that believe that secularism is actually a best case scenario for how a society should be governed.

And I would say that that's a dominant belief, even among Christians, that we want to create a neutral playing field for all worldviews to be represented.

So I want to speak to those that have that viewpoint, which I would call

kindly our opponents. And then I also think this kind of discussion is helpful for those that

may eventually pursue public office. I know Christians are increasingly interested in running

for municipal, provincial, federal

politics. And so this series hopefully will help them to think about what it means to be a

Christian politician. And then thirdly, the vast majority of us that just want to vote well,

there's never going to be a perfect candidate, of course.

But I think having an understanding of how a country should be organized, how a nation should

be operated, helps us to determine who is the best candidate to vote for.
