There is no sin in joining a political party or finding a common cause with a specific political ideology. But, we must understand that our tribes are not perfect and be willing to challenge our side when it is out of step with our faith.

Just as we must remember that our political tribe of choice is not perfect, we must also reject the false notion that people on the other side of the political spectrum – or somewhere in between – are pure evil. We must learn to find virtue in our political opponents.

I was walking back to my house from getting ice cream with friends when I first heard the news that former President Trump had been injured in an assassination attempt at a rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday. By the time I went to bed on Saturday night, all the latent stress and fear and grief that has already plagued this election season was compounded by the sense that things were even more frightening and serious than we had already known.

A quote attributed to Cornel West sums up my feelings in this current political season, “I cannot be an optimist but I am a prisoner of hope.” I skipped watching the national debate, knowing that my social media feeds would be flooded with “highlights.” It turns out I didn’t miss much, and I spent the next several days afterward lamenting, with many others, that these two men were our only choices.

Is ethnic (racial) unity possible in this polarized political season? It’s possible.

We don’t usually think about Communion as a spiritual discipline, and few think about the Lord’s Table as an essential antidote to political idolatry

There’s one biblical passage that gets quoted the most often in our conversations about politics in America: Romans 13.

How to avoid the temptation of Outrage Culture

Local politics are actually more impactful of your daily life than national politics

In a world of absolutes, being curious is more important than ever

Most of us are familiar with the spiritual disciplines of prayer, of fasting, of reading the Bible, and of giving. But what about the spiritual discipline of not having the last word?

A traditional fast from food is still a valuable discipline, but in our noisy age of constant connection and digital over-stimulation a media fast may be especially relevant.

“You are what you eat,” people often say. What we consume changes us—and that’s not just true for the food we eat, it’s true of the media we consume. If we want to engage in our political world with faithfulness, we need to examine how the media we’re consuming is shaping us. A media audit can help us do that.

Every year before Christmas, my mom used to tell me and my little sister the same thing: “Find the lie.” As the TV commercials started showing all the new toys we could put on our Christmas lists, my mom encouraged my sister and I to see the truth underneath the shiny advertising.

Fasting has always been a formative and devotional discipline for God's people. In Scripture, refraining from food was a way to express grief, exercise control over the body, express dependance upon God, and draw closer to him in prayer.
