05:25 - What does the Bible say about how Christians should think about and engage in politics?

08:00 - Throughout history there have been Christian passivist movements like the Quakers, activist movements like the Anabaptists or the Religious Right, non-violent resistant movements like Dr. King’s - what can we learn from movements in the past? Which would you point to and say, “That is probably the closest to how Christians in this generation should engage with politics”? Which should we study and try to emulate?

10:38 - Is it too late for you to consider a Presidential Run this year?

10:55 - For a culture that already struggles with nihilism, this election isn’t helping. Whether it is the lesser of two evils philosophy that has been pretty dominant this election or the feelings of embarrassment or helplessness many people feel around this election, it can be hard for many people to see the point. We are a church with a lot of young people (25-35). How would you persuade them away from apathy and cynicism in regards to politics?

14:53 - In regards to politics and culture, what do you think the big issues facing Christians will be in the next 5-10 years? What can we study and do to prepare and engage?

17:42 - Is there anything that you are listening to or reading that you would recommend to us?
