Kingdom In Politics with Aamon Ross Aamon Ross For the last 60 years believers have abdicated their responsibility in the political arena, resulting in massive cultural decline and the persecution of businesses and families and individual and religious freedoms.

Our mission is to educate and challenge you to become part of the solution as you embrace faith, inspire hope, and weaponize love. Speaking to Politics Mike Politics shape our world. The issues being decided in the halls of government every day have real and lasting impact on all our lives, but discussing politics is extremely unpleasant. It is very difficult today to have a calm, adult conversation about politics. Are the people screaming on TV, the radio, and online really who “we” are? Are they really representative of mainstream America or are they just really aggressive and loud? I believe the adults just got tired of it and walked away, but their silence is not consent. This podcast is the test of that theory. If you see fit to tune in, I will present news of the day, analysis and commentary while doing my best to check my feelings at the door and let you, the listeners, decide what it means to you.
