The Messy Middle Between Politics and Religion
You and I are tackling politics and religion and the messy middle—the gray area—that exists in between. There is an obvious overlap of the two separate camps, and we need to find the middle ground.

While there is a clear middle, the two should never be so merged with the other that they become too difficult to separate again. This fusion is what has characterized these topics, and it’s to separate them to restore the middle.

In this episode, I’m going to make my argument that there is too much of a convoluted view of politics and religion and how the majority of Christians right now, in my humble opinion, are failing in serving as examples of who Jesus is.

COVID has been an opportunity to serve the world around us through an example of peace, compassion, and kindness, but so many have gone the exact opposite direction, choosing to neglect loving their neighbor in favor of fighting for their comfort zones.

You and I have the ability to move toward the messy middle between politics and religion. We can workto always be aware of the middle that already exists and practice compassion and peace toward those who feel differently.

It’s hard to hold space in the middle, it’s challenging to allow what makes you uncomfortable exist in your world. Yet it’s all part of this journey of self-awareness.

Join me for this episode and remember to always be kind on this journey!
