Voting is not just a civic duty but a deeply spiritual responsibility. As Christians, we are called to be salt and light in the world (Matthew 5:13-16), influencing society in ways that reflect God’s truth, justice, and love. By voting, believers have the opportunity to stand up for biblical values in the public sphere—whether it’s defending the sanctity of life, advocating for justice for the oppressed, or protecting religious freedoms. Ignoring the political process means forfeiting a critical opportunity to bring kingdom principles into the laws and policies that shape our culture. However, the growing public distrust in government—shared by many Christians and average citizens—leads some to feel that voting is more of a "dog and pony show," where the system is rigged and their voices won’t truly make a difference.

This sense of disillusionment can be hard to overcome, but as Christians, we are still called to engage faithfully, even when the process seems broken. Voting remains an act of stewardship. Romans 13 teaches that government is ordained by God, and Christians have a responsibility to thoughtfully engage in the political process, even when the system seems flawed. While the system may seem imperfect, failing to vote can result in the further marginalization of kingdom principles in public life. Come listen and tell us what you think!
