In this powerful episode of Encounter Grace, Jason sits down with Ray Pennings, Executive VP and co-founder of Canadian think tank Cardus, to unpack the state of the Canada-U.S. relationship, the impact of Trump-era tariffs, and what it means to engage in politics with a gospel-centered worldview.

Ray offers a unique cross-border perspective on:

• The 2025 Canadian election and its implications

• The polarization in both American and Canadian political landscapes

• The rise of the MAGA movement and its cultural ripple effects

• Why Christian witness matters in public life

• How young people are rediscovering faith, belonging, and hope

• The mission of think tanks like Cardus and the influence of Comment Magazine

This thoughtful dialogue explores how Christian citizens can engage with truth, grace, and wisdom in an increasingly divided world. Whether you're interested in public theology, Christian political engagement, or North American politics, this episode will challenge and encourage you.
