Can Faith & Politics Coexist? A Real Conversation | 3rd Side Convo
💡 Is it possible to have meaningful conversations about faith and politics without division? Can religious leaders influence politics without deepening divides? And how do we move from cancel culture to constructive dialogue?
In this thought-provoking episode of 3rd Side Convo, host Bob Phipps is joined by panelists Ted Johnson, Don Thomas, Leo Robinson, and Michelle Walters as they tackle one of today’s most controversial yet necessary discussions: the intersection of faith, politics, and unity in an increasingly polarized world.
🔹 Are we really listening to one another?
🔹 Why does political discourse so often turn into a shouting match?
🔹 How can we move past labels to find real solutions?
📌 What We Discuss in This Episode:
1- Faith & Politics: A Complicated Relationship – Throughout history, religious figures have played a role in shaping politics, but where should the line be drawn? Are faith leaders fostering unity or contributing to division?
2- The Role of Moral Leadership – Can religious leaders advocate for social justice without becoming political figures? Where do we draw the line between faith-based guidance and political interference?
3- Cancel Culture & Political Extremes – In an age where political disagreements escalate into personal attacks, how do we create a space for dialogue? Is cancel culture silencing necessary debate, or is it holding people accountable?
4- The Power of Listening – Have we lost the ability to hear perspectives that challenge our own? What does it mean to truly engage in a conversation rather than just waiting for our turn to speak?
5- Solutions for Unity – Beyond the debates and division, what are practical steps we can take to bridge the political and ideological gap? How do we foster a society that values understanding over outrage?
