When Politics Costs You Friends (Ep-189)

You've probably been there. A friend posts something. You see it. Your jaw tightens. You want to say something. And then something in you breaks loose and you do.Pastor Emil and Mike Hughes talk through what happens when politics starts costing you the people who matter. Emil shares the moment a heated Facebook thread with a fellow pastor made him realize he was treating his faith like ammunition and his friends like targets. The politics was loud. The gospel was nowhere in sight.They dig into what it actually looks like to humanize someone you think is wrong, why both sides of the aisle have reduced real people to caricatures, and how staying in relationship across disagreement might be the most countercultural thing a Christian can do right now.This is not about surrendering conviction. It's about remembering who you're supposed to be before the next news cycle hits.The Jesus First. Politics Second. 21-day workbook is built for exactly this kind of moment.
