A Jesus-Shaped Political Advocacy With Anna Vogt

  • Summary

  • Join us for a compelling conversation with Anna Vogt, Director of Advocacy and Public Policy for the Mennonite Central Committee (MCC), as we explore what Jesus-shaped political advocacy looks like in today's complex world. Drawing from over a decade of experience with MCC, including years of grassroots work in Colombia, Anna shares powerful stories of transformation, reconciliation, and the occasionally surprising journey of loving one's enemies.

    In this timely discussion, we dive into how Christians can navigate political engagement while maintaining their primary allegiance to Jesus, especially during this unprecedented global election year. Anna offers practical wisdom for church leaders seeking to foster unity amid political division and shares insights on building communities of peace that stand as alternatives to our culture's polarized discourse.

    From witnessing prisoners being set free to seeing communities forge paths to peace, Anna's experiences illuminate how faith-informed advocacy can help make the impossible possible. Whether you're a pastor, peace worker, or someone wrestling with faith's role in politics, this conversation offers fresh perspectives on embodying Jesus' way in our political engagement.
