Tension

An uncomfortable conversation about race, religion, and politics


Listen Later

If you grew up in the evangelical movement, you've heard it said that Christians vote Republican. The only problem with that is 86% of Black Christians vote Democrat. So which is it?


In this month's episode, we talk about why we believe it's not theology that influences our view of government, but rather something else and how ultimately it's okay for followers of Jesus to disagree on political issues.
