Why do local and state politics matter? (Part 2)

from ERLC Podcast Hosted by lane wakefield, Hannah Daniel, tony beam

Are you weary from the current state of American politics? Does the noisy rhetoric by some political candidates and the lack of meaningful action leave you tempted to retreat from political engagement altogether? Know you’re not alone. Like you, we feel these tensions and want to explore ways that we can bring hope to the public square, together. And, we believe this starts in our own communities, which is why the ERLC produced an extensive state policy agenda for the first time this year, highlighting areas where you can make a difference in your community. On today’s episode, you’ll hear from our colleague, Hannah Daniel, the ERLC’s director of public policy, about how you can get involved in bringing flourishing to your state and neighborhood. You’ll also hear again from our friends Tony Beam, the senior director of Church & Community Engagement for North Greenville University, and Lane Wakefield, a professor at Baylor University and candidate for his local school board in Texas.
