Amen! I have been encouraged this week by Lectio 365's focus on the intersection of God's creativity and justice....it reminds me that of God's perseverance and that ultimately, his will WILL be done.

Well said … if only Christians from both sides of the political spectrum would hear what God is saying through the scriptures.

Wow!

I’ll get you up to speed on the lingo. Liberty. Freedom. America. The Pledge of Allegiance. The Constitution. The Declaration of Independence. More freedom. There you go. You’re up to speed on the Republican lingo.

They are way better!!!! Trump 2024!

😂

And the dems are so normal

Check the democrat party. They were for the wall, then Trump won, they were then for open borders. The democrat party has become full MARXISTS. The republicans party has moved left, but the democrat party has moved to the extreme left.

Let’s be glad Christianity is slowly disappearing every generation

Great show.., regarding Christian Nationalism, devotion to Christ on the same level as your devotion to your country is idolatry

Awesome conversation

To be honest it's a challenge. Its hard to bring curiosity to political conversations in the current environment. I appreciated her suggestion in the episode about instead of asking why do you believe that -- asking how did you come to that belief? Entering the conversation to hear and understand the person and their story beyond the hot topic issue.

Because playing the “ignorant button “will be a redundancy of a hypocrisy to re-written rules at play of Keeping it real

This country was built on Christianity. Why it used to be the best country.

Scripture clearly tells you what to be the salt of the earth what is it for salt to lose its flavour then to be trampled on under foot

Love working with Threaded ❤ It's a great organization to support!

Yes!!

Curious to hear how he defines separation of church and state

Jesus is my gardener

Sweet irony, indeed

Loved "Where the gospel meets real life... your neighbors' issue is your issue." Something to think about is voting beyond what's in your best interest - when Collin shared the voting scenario I had never thought of it like that before. Definitely asking a new set of questions ❤

Yes, just because you can doesn't mean you should. Also, looking honestly at ones own motives so often we focus more on what we can justify/get away with/how close to line can we be rather than how can I love well? To love as Jesus did equals sacrifice - looking to the interest of others over your own (Philippians 2:4) maybe that means practicing restraint in our words rather than focusing on what we feel entitled to.

I love Antwuan's timing challenges... But seriously, he is spot on with the issue of Christian's thinking that angry/negative comments on social media are somehow a witness for the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

First, there is 1st Corinthians 10:23 - ‘“All things are lawful,” but not all things are helpful. “All things are lawful,” but not all things build up.’ So, just because you can say/do something doesn’t mean you should say/do that thing. Second, I would wonder in what context was that person raised, or what was their experience growing up? If they are 1/4 ______, did they experience life as _________? If not, do they really understand what saying that word or phrase means to people who have? Do they want to say it to sound cool, or do they truly identify with people who have? It seems presumptuous and insulting. Thoughts?

very thought provoking, and really revealing the Heart of Jehovah, He is LOVE, he prefers to redeem and recover rather than neglect and destroy.

I love this taxonomy! This has been extremely helpful already in my engagement with people!

That’s a fact

As thoughtful and inspiring as ever. Good to see you guys! Keep going!

Great discussion

Good to see you back! I enjoyed the conversation.

46:59 The interesting thing about the examples of Joseph, Daniel, and Esther is that they did not seek out those political positions. Joseph was sold into slavery, Daniel was a captive in exile, and Esther was essentially kidnapped into the King's harem. All of them were in powerless positions when they started. Their faithfulness to God's commands is what drew attention to them, not their own strategies to gain favor or use power for good. Sometimes, it was positive attention, and other times, they landed in dangerous situations. They risked their status and lives. They did not sacrifice truth or integrity to maintain their positions so they could continue to have influence. God used them as they were; it was from the bottom up, not the top down. I think it's dangerous when Christians think they need political power to bring change. If we actually loved people well, that would be its own kind of influence. Jesus was establishing a way outside of the Roman empire, outside of the current religious thoughts and practices- his plan did not require political or religious influence. After all, He started with the outcasts.

Excited for the new series 🙌🏾

Nice!! We had a great tome this year! Cant wait to see how next year turns out!

Maybe you burned out because you’re fighting a war against something in your own mind. And the logical people aren’t playing your game

Motto motto~...

Love this

Just got our power back not to long ago
