Summary
President Lincoln once said, "A house divided against itself cannot stand". Over the last several years, politics has divided the nation instead of uniting it. Host Joseph Backholm is joined by Denise Gitsham, a political commentator, attorney, and author of "Politics for People Who Hate Politics", for a conversation about the political divide and how to tackle it from a biblical perspective. How should Christians respond to the divide, and what does Jesus say about division? Joseph and Denise unpack these difficult questions and more. Listen now to better understand how you can navigate the modern political climate.
