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.

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

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.
1:34.5	Well we're very excited that we will be in Buffalo next week. So that's September 21st.
