Summary

How do Christians strike a balance when it comes to engaging with politics? If we don't get involved, we're not fulfilling our duty to seek truth and be salt and light. But on the other hand, there are times when we take things too far, and political candidates (instead of Jesus) become the rallying point of our faith.
On today's midweek podcast episode, Dr. Michael L. Brown returns to discuss what it looks like when we keep our priorities straight and shares some highlights from his book, The Political Seduction of the Church: How Millions Of American Christians Have Confused Politics with the Gospel. You may want to grab a copy to prepare for the 2024 U.S. presidential campaign!
