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.

Should Christians vote? That's the opening question for this complex discussion on Christianity and Politics. Are voting and democracy mentioned in the Bible? Do the scriptures have examples of believers engaged in politics?  Are politics the only way Christians can effect change? This conversation weaves through biblical times, the Protestant Reformation, the civil rights movement, and modern-day as Markus and Antwuan discuss political power, the American church, and what it looks like for Christians to pursue God's kingdom here on earth.
