Summary

In today's episode, we sit down with Josh Howerton, senior pastor of Lakepointe Church, to discuss his recent viral sermon about voting as a Christian. We talk about the responsibilities that Christians have to vote for the candidate who most aligns with biblical values and what the right approach to voting for these candidates should be. We also discuss the role of the government and how "Christian nationalism" might not be as scary as the Left would have you believe. And Josh leaves us with some encouragement to round out the week as we head into the election.
