With the election, the conversation has shifted. Some Christians are grieving while others are celebrating, yet the mission God calls us to remains the same. This episode was filmed before the election,  but the conversation remains relevant. Join the Threaded team as we reflect on what we learned over the last eight episodes. We discuss the impact that those conversations had on our perspective. As we navigate a new political climate,  this conversation reinforces the importance of lament and confession. It also reminds us to stay curious, be humble, act justly, and love as Jesus did.

From favored to traitor, Nancy French shares her journey-- from becoming a successful ghostwriter for conservative political leaders to being ostracized from the Republican party when she was unwilling to endorse an unsuitable president.  When her allies turned on her, Nancy found herself spiritually adrift, politically confused, and occupationally unemployable. Republicans mocked her, white nationalists targeted her, and her church community alienated her.  So what do you do when you take a stand and experience rejection in the public square? Host Markus Lloyd and Antwuan Malone explore this in a lively conversation with the brilliant Nancy French.

We talked about fears and hesitations, learned about advocacy and the value of curiosity, and discussed identity and politics. Through each episode, we asked how we can steward the gifts of democracy well. How can we love as Christ did? Now, the question is, can Christians go too far in the public square? Join the Threaded team as they examine Christian Nationalism and the Public Square.

Let's talk about Public Policy! Special Guest Stephen Reeves joins Markus Lloyd and Antwuan Malone to discuss his experience as a Christ follower, a lobbyist, and an advocate. What is advocacy? What does it mean to be a Christian and a lobbyist? It's a fascinating conversation about the separation of church and state, protecting freedom, and discovering Jesus in the margins.

What are the fears? Hosts Markus Lloyd and Antwuan Malone, with special guest Collin Packer, explore why some Christians hesitate to engage in politics. Do Christians and churches stay silent in the name of unity? What does real unity entail? The episode is full of questions as they discuss economic consequences, historical perspective, and what it means to look out for the interests of others (Phillippians 2)—does that include voting?
