Jeremy is joined by friends Phil Goodwin and Kyle to react to Fareed Zakaria's comments about the increasing secularization of culture, and the politicization of religion. Most of the conversation is spent tackling the tension between operating as a citizen of the United States AND a citizen of heaven. Where do you draw the line? What are the risks of getting too involved? How do we ensure "Christ is Lord" remains our sole focus (rather than creating Gods out of politicians or even ourselves)? If you have been struggling to order your thinking correctly during this political season as a believer, this episode will give you new ways to approach your thought process and move forward with confidence. On this episode, we talk about: 0:00 Intro 1:19 Fareed Zakaria Clip 6:50 The role geography plays in how much religion and politics are intermingled 12:38 The implications of Jesus having come to bring a Kingdom 16:39 The tension of operating in the political arena as a Christian 24:11 Evangelism vs. Policy motivation 32:04 What is the "collision" between Jesus vs political leaders in a democracy? 37:56 The political act of self-renunciation...and the ditches we risk falling into when navigating politics and the church Subscribe on Substack ➡️ https://jeremypryor.substack.com Follow Jeremy on Instagram and Twitter.
