In this episode, Pastor Stephen, Pastor Daniel, and Pastor Nate unpack the ongoing debates around Texas redistricting—exploring how changes to voting districts affect representation, political influence, and the balance of power. They address the legal battles, the moral questions, and the biblical principles at stake when political maps are drawn. Along the way, they discuss the responsibility of believers to engage in civic processes, the tension between party politics and Kingdom values, and how the church can champion justice without becoming captive to partisan agendas.
