In this episode, CYC is joined by Justin R. Hawkins, a PhD candidate at Yale University who is specializing in the fields of political theory and Christian ethics. To begin, high school students talk about how they and their peers tend to view and experience politics, and how they often go about engaging in that narrower view of politics, typically through social media. Justin then offers a more expansive approach to politics, including better modes of political engagement. For Christians, political activism is not 'slacktivism,' it is neighborly love. Moreover, politics is not the be-all end-all, but is rather an earthly means by which we may come to better enjoy God and love others.
