The Mark Casto Program

#009 - Bridging the Divide – Faith in a Polarized Nation


Listen Later

In a nation pulled apart by politics, culture wars, and digital echo chambers, what does it mean to be a follower of Jesus who refuses to pick sides—but chooses to build bridges?

In this raw, prophetic, and peace-driven episode, Mark Casto exposes the roots of political polarization in the church, dismantles the myth of a red-or-blue gospel, and lays out a clear path for Kingdom unity in a divided world.

You won’t get safe theology or soft takes in this conversation—only a clarion call for peacemakers, prophets, and Kingdom entrepreneurs who are tired of the chaos and ready to walk a better way.

🔥 What You'll Learn:
  • Why Jesus didn’t come to take sides—but to take over

  • The dangerous cost of confusing patriotism with Kingdom allegiance

  • How Christians are being discipled more by algorithms than by the Word

  • The four practical actions every peacemaker must take this week

  • What the prophetic posture looks like in an age of outrage

  • How to become a bridge in a world addicted to burning them
