Summary
Introducing our new limited-series Peace in Politics.
Do you find yourself anxious, fearful or stressed during election seasons? As division and conflict surrounding politics seem to intensify, it can be hard to avoid getting caught up in the chaos. But as followers of Jesus, we are called to a different way - the way of peace.
In this podcast, based on the book "Peace in Politics" by Josh L Miller, you'll be equipped with a biblical mindset to navigate divisive political times with wisdom and grace. Through exploring passages of Scripture, you'll gain perspective on trusting God's unshakable Kingdom over earthly governments.
Each episode provides practical teachings and guided prayers to help you embody Christ's love, even for those you disagree with politically. You'll learn to approach disagreements with humility, walk in gratitude for God’s provision, and engage in kingdom-minded action.
From overcoming election anxiety through prayer to being a peacemaker on social media, this podcast will revolutionize how you view the relationship between your faith and politics. Join us in choosing the pathway of unity, hope and internal calm that Christ offers his followers, no matter what is happening in the world around us.
