Hello, I'm John Eldridge, and welcome the Ransomed Heart Audio Podcast.

For more information on Ransomed Heart Ministries, our resources and events, please visit

Craig, as we were signing off last week, you and I got into a conversation after the mics were turned off that I thought was

really, really important was right after our podcast on, was Jesus a pacifist and you made a comment something to the effect of I think dear people

that you know who hold for example a pacifist position do so because they're rejecting a party.

They're rejecting in that case the Republican Party and just saying I don't want anything

to do with those people.

It's kind of guilt by association,

and therefore I reject any in all of their policies

or their, you know, their position.

Say more about that I think I think our

worldview our interpretation reaction to life events and circumstances is to be

shaped by Christ or Walk with God

scripture and we all take shortcuts and hop on banwagons and I've just

noticed among younger people, though not exclusively, that there's just this

visceral reaction to anything that can be linked to or identified as Republican and so position where gun rights or

standing up against dictators and wars and so on and so forth,

prosecution of criminals, capital punishment, all are just

viewed as wrong.

They're not even considered.

And I think there's this danger.
