EPISODE 0259 | Christians and Political Responsibility
THESE NOTES ACCOMPANY EPISODE 0259
In this week’s culture review, Pastor Stephen checks in from New York for a fiery discussion on the headlines making waves—from radical policies in Virginia to civil unrest in Minnesota. Pastor Daniel and Pastor Stephen walk through the political moment we’re in, why Christians must be clear-eyed about what time it is, and how to hold fast to biblical values in the middle of chaos.
Together, they break down the spiritual implications of redistricting, immigration, law enforcement, and the threat of civilizational collapse. But it’s not all doom and gloom—this episode also highlights the hope we’re seeing across the country as faith, family, and freedom begin to rise again.
Main Topics Covered:
Why Virginia is a warning sign for the 2026 midterms
Redistricting, criminal justice reform, and lawless governance
