I this episode, I ask us to consider: if Jesus would be disappointed that we have apathetically allowed our representative form of government to become a bitter contest between rival teams, when we're all supposed to be actively on the same team of democracy; whether partisan politics lends itself to bettering our nation and the lives of our citizens; that one-sidedness is devoid of the honesty and self-regulation necessary to overpower the egocentric motivation to rule and dominate; and, whether we grow, change, and advance our democracy in positive ways when we demand integrity, respect, and unity from ourselves and those we trust to represent us.
