In a world where faith and politics constantly collide, we ask:\n\nDid Jesus align with a political movement?\nShould the church speak into political issues?\nWhere is the line between conviction and division?\nAnd what does Scripture actually say?\n\nWe unpack key moments from the life of Jesus—His interaction with government, His response to power, and His statement to “render to Caesar what is Caesar’s and to God what is God’s.” We explore how the early church navigated Roman rule, what biblical authority really means, and how believers can engage culture without losing their witness.\n\nThis conversation is thoughtful, honest, and balanced. It’s not about red vs blue. It’s about the Kingdom of God.\n\nIf you’ve ever wrestled with how to live faithfully in a politically charged culture, this episode will challenge you, ground you in Scripture, and remind you where our ultimate allegiance belongs.\n\nListen now and join the conversation."}
