Episode Synopsis

Politics! It's not always easy (or fun) to talk about but if it matters to people, then it is worth discussing. This is something that might have been part of your conversations and encounters with people lately  whether online on social media or in person with friends and family. With the upcoming 2022 elections, things are getting even more heated up.Join Mon as he shares some of his insights on viewing politics as a whole here in our current context. He shares about two temptations that we can fall into: indifference and idolatry. He frames this discussion through the scripture story of when Jesus was asked about the Pharisees about paying taxes to Caesar. He further expounds on the implications of us being made in the image of God, how our faith ought to shape our perspective, and how our allegiance might need to be reevalutated.Music by Kayel MarceloPASSAGES:Matthew 22:15-22Genesis 1:26-28RELEVANT MATERIAL:Way Of The Exile, by BibleProject: https://bibleproject.com/explore/video/the-way-of-the-exile/ Netflix PH Meme: https://www.facebook.com/netflixph/posts/1290694284615168 RELATED NOT SO SECULAR EPISODES:#1 – When God Does Something#4 – Where Does Your Worth Come From?Find all of Mon's links here: ⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/talkswithmon⁠(including how to book him as a speaker and how to support the show)
