Summary

The separation of church and state is fundamental to American politics—one of the core principles established when the nation emerged. But https://www.thecrossingchurch.com/staff/keith-simon/ (Pastors Keith Simon) and https://www.thecrossingchurch.com/staff/patrick-miller/ (Patrick Miller) believe that this doesn't mean that we should (or can) keep our faith out the voting booth. To the contrary, Jesus has a politic and Christians must be guided by it. Interested in more content like this?

0:00.0	Welcome to Tim Minut Bible Talks, where we connect the Bible to your life and the time it takes to get to work.
0:10.0	I'm Keith Simon.
0:11.0	And I'm Patrick Miller.
0:13.0	So Keith after our little critique of the debate in the last episode we did together do you think anyone's still listening?
0:19.0	Well, I don't even know if my family's listening.
0:21.0	No, I think maybe people could have been a little bit turned off by it
0:26.3	and thought that maybe we were getting a little too
0:29.3	partisan in it.
0:30.3	That sure wasn't our goal, but I understand if people were a little bit uncomfortable with it.
