DDD: Rejoicing, Weeping, and Changing the Public Square

Give me 7+ Minutes on your drive into work today  What if the first step to changing politics isn’t winning an argument, but entering someone’s joy and pain?  In a culture that demonizes “the other side,” have we forgotten that every person is made in the image of God?  In this devotional, discover how rejoicing with those who rejoice and weeping with those who weep can reshape both your heart and the public square.  Pastor Brian Noble, in this devotional, explores Romans 12 and other key scriptures to call believers back to genuine love, empathy, and sympathy in a polarized political culture. It challenges listeners to see opponents not as labels—Democrat, Republican, progressive, conservative—but as people created in God’s image who need the gospel more than a political victory. Listeners are urged to rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep, bear one another’s burdens, and restore those in sin with a spirit of gentleness and self-examination. The episode concludes by urging believers to walk in compassion like Jesus, pray for laborers in the harvest, and go out to defend and advance biblical values in the public square.  We are transforming our hearts so we can shape the public square.
