Summary
In their first episode of the new season, Natasha and Alisa tackle the topic that has many Christians fired up this election season: how should we vote? Many Christians don’t hear much in church about how to view the nature of government and its role in society, even though the Bible has a lot to say about it! This leads some to have unbiblical beliefs about politics, and leads others to be silent and/or reject politics altogether. Natasha and Alisa break down the biblical principles.
MENTIONED IN THE SHOW:

| 0:00.0 | Hey, I'm Natasha Crane, and I'm Elisa Childers. |
| 0:05.0 | Welcome to Unshaken Faith, where we equip you to live your Christian faith |
| 0:11.0 | boldly in a chaotic culture. We are so excited to be back today with a new season of Unshaken Faith episodes. |
| 0:32.8 | We thought we'd start off with a really small |

| 0:48.6 | Alisa and I are not claiming to be able to sort all this out today and address all these different |
| 0:53.6 | debates in a 15 minute episode. However, in our experience it seems that a lot of |
| 0:57.7 | Christians just don't hear that much about how to view the nature of government |
| 1:01.8 | and its role in society. |
| 1:03.4 | So we want to share some foundational biblical principles |
| 1:06.3 | that every Christian should understand |
| 1:08.6 | when thinking about voting. |
| 1:10.1 | And much, much more could be said |
| 1:11.8 | even about these principles and their applications. |
| 1:13.7 | In fact, there is this book by theologian Wayne Grudham called Politics, according to the Bible, |
| 1:18.1 | and it's 625 pages long. So we're not going to cover every relevant point for sure, but we do hope today's |
| 1:25.2 | episode will bring some clarity to what matters most when you cast your vote this fall. |
| 1:29.6 | But first, let's do some announcements. It's been a while and we have some tips of the week. |
