Is the term evangelical worth holding on to anymore? Is it imperative that Christians participate in elections? What is the way forward for families that have been fractured by political disagreements?

These are some of the listener questions that Russell and producer Ashley Hales address on this episode of The Russell Moore Show. Tune in for a discussion that digs deep into the political dynamics of modern American life while sharing universal truths for living Christianly in a broken world.

  • What are some tips for reading more regularly?
  • Is it okay for Christians not to participate in voting for president?
  • How can Christians whose families are divided over politics prioritize God and one another
  • What does the evangelical support of Donald Trump do to the term evangelical and its reputation?
  • How can believers deal with Christian nationalism in their relationships?
  • What is Christian nationalism?
  • How might the upcoming election affect local churches?
  • What hope is there for Christians discouraged by American politics?
