#003 - Jesus Is Not a Republican: A Christ-Centered Look at Politics

Listen Later

It’s time we said it out loud:

Jesus is not a Republican.
He’s not a Democrat.
He’s not American.

And He’s not interested in being a political mascot.

In this bold, prophetic episode of The Mark Casto Program, we confront one of the most dangerous idols in modern Christianity: the toxic fusion of faith and politics. Christian nationalism has hijacked the gospel and turned pulpits into podiums—but the Kingdom of God is bigger than red vs. blue.

🔥 In This Episode, You'll Discover:

  • Why the Church’s obsession with politics is diluting the power of the gospel

  • The subtle (and not so subtle) ways Christian nationalism is creeping into the American Church

  • What Jesus actually said about power, politics, and the Kingdom

  • The difference between being prophetic vs. partisan

  • 4 powerful principles for staying Kingdom-minded in a political world

  • How the early church turned the world upside down—without voting once

    📖 Mentioned in This Episode:

    • John 18:36 – “My Kingdom is not of this world…”

    • Philippians 3:20 – “Our citizenship is in Heaven.”

    • Jesus and John Wayne by Kristin Kobes Du Mez

    • The Myth of a Christian Nation by Greg Boyd

    • Pew & Barna research on why young Christians are rejecting politicized religion

      ✊ If You’ve Ever Thought:

      • “Why does my faith feel more political than spiritual?”

      • “Am I less Christian if I don’t vote the way my church does?”

      • “Why does it feel like we’ve turned Jesus into a party platform?”

        …then this episode is for you.

        📲 Listen & Take Action:

        The Kingdom of God is not coming on the wings of a political party.
        It’s coming through people who refuse to sell out to the system.
