Should Pastors Teach on Politics from the Pulpit?

Covenant &amp; Constitution is a comprehensive resource for understanding Christian Moral &amp; Political Theology, applied for the Church. 

How should we, as believers, understand modern political issues in light of Scripture? 

Jenna Hays is Founder of Mountain Academy, a K-10th American Classical Christian Leadership Academy in Oregon. She’s also co-host of The School of Life podcast which is a comparative worldview podcast, dissecting the prevailing worldviews of our day. 

Jenna grew up as a minority thinker (as a conservative Christian) in a radical leftist progressive city and while attending the University of Oregon and Southern Oregon University. Leaving with a degree in Political Science, she knows firsthand the ideological soil of our cultural moment. This became the training ground to truly understand what it means to live as a faithful exile in a modern Babylon. She learned from early on that one must develop entirely different spiritual muscles to effectively engage our cultural moment from the lens of unchanging Biblical truth. 

In this podcast, Jenna utilizes the texts &amp; thoughts of thinkers such as:
- Dr. Wayne Grudem’s books, “Politics According to the Bible,” and “Ethics”
- Nancy Pearcey's book, "Total Truth”
- Oliver O’Donovan and Joan Lockwood O’Donovan‘s book “Bonds of Perfection,” 
- Hillsdale College’s Western Heritage Reader and their Civics curriculum
- Scott David Allen’s book “ Social Justice is Not Biblical Justice”
- Voddie Baucham’s book “It’s Not Like Being Black”
- Eric Metaxes’s book “Letter to the American Church” and “Religionless Christianity”
- Thomas Sowell’s books “ Discrimination and Disparities,” and “Basic Economics”


In this podcast, Jenna examines questions such as: 

Should churches exert any influence in politics? Should pastors preach about political issues? Is there only one “Christian“ position on political issues? How should we think through American civics with a worldview lens? Did the Church become more political, or has government reached into the church’s sphere? What happens when God’s instruction to individuals, to the Church, and to the government get blurred? 

This podcast offers a bite-sized approach for average people to study the specific issues of our cultural moment from a Biblical worldview.
