Faith at the Polls: Bridging Theology and Civic Duty - Part One with Pastor Josh Howerton


Listen Later

Does the intersection of faith and politics intrigue you or make you uneasy? Join us as Pastor Josh Howerton from Lakepointe Church in Texas challenges the conventional wisdom that churches should steer clear of political discussions. He argues that avoiding politics is not only unbiblical but a disservice to spiritual leadership. Pastor Josh draws upon figures like Moses and John the Baptist to illustrate how faith leaders can and should boldly guide their congregations when political issues become theological battlegrounds, particularly on topics like marriage, gender, border security and education.

Ever wondered how your vote can be an act of faith? Discover Pastor Josh’s compelling sermon on the spiritual imperative of voting, where he paints abstention as a form of passive rebellion against God. Using vivid examples from Genesis to Revelation, he outlines the ways in which believers are called to engage in civic duties. With a focus on mature decision-making, Pastor Josh encourages Christians to look beyond superficial qualities in candidates and to align their voting choices with divine principles.

Feeling torn between flawed political candidates? Pastor Josh offers insightful strategies for navigating elections where the perfect choice is non-existent. By likening voting to selecting a church or a spouse, he makes a case for choosing the lesser of evils to foster positive change. This episode goes beyond the quest for perfection, advocating for the power of stewardship in decision-making and urging listeners to recognize the potential for good in unexpected places. Share this thought-provoking message with your community and join us as we continue to explore the vital role of faith in politics.
