The Whole Church Podcast

This episode is all about how to worship and focus on God through music during times of political polarization. When we are most tempted to be overcome with anxiety over political strife, can worship music help us focus on God instead? Joshua Noel, Taylor Clyde, and Matthew Winter review three songs that were put together through a collaboration of The Porter's Gate Collective and the After Party program. The After Party is a program to help Churches address our times of political anxiety today. The Porter's Gate Collective is a group of people from across Church denomination working together to create practical worship music for our times that can be sung by anyone across ecumenical grounds. The songs we review in this episode, by The Porter's Gate Collective, include: "The Kingdom of Jesus", "The Lord Will Have His Way", and "Bind Us Together".

.

What political party are Christians? What is the Christian attitude to politics? Are Christian Democrats left or right? What is Jesus' kingdom? What does Jesus say about the kingdom? What did Jesus mean the kingdom of God is within you? What the Bible verse says the Lord will make a way? What is the sovereign choice of God? Is God actually all-powerful? What is the meaning of Ecuminical? What does the Bible say about ecumenism? What does God say about Church unity? What are the benefits of unity in the church?

.

In this episode, we will:

• Explore the nature of worship music
• Deconstruct Christians' relation to politics
• Discuss doctrines of sovereignty, omnipotence, and missiology in politics
• Refocus on God in times of overwhelming political anxiety
