064: Can Christians Be Political?

from Real Talk Christian Podcast · host realtalkchristian

Everyone knows that you never bring up two topics at the family dinner table: religion and politics. Thankfully, we aren't most people. On this episode of Real Talk Christian Podcast, Marc and Fuller talk about politics and specifically answer the question, "Can Christians be political?" There are so many Christians that combine their faith with a political platform, and we set out to see if that's a Christian idea or a worldly idea that has crept into the faith. We look at governments in the Old Testament and New Testament, if Christians should vote, can Christians serve as political figures, and how Christians should handle political conversations in every day life.
