  • Christians, Voting, & Politics
    Oct 31 2024

    On episode 8 Pastor Tobin highlights the points from his sermon "Stable Christians part 2." Stable Christians support unity, support community and support the gospel.

    On "What's Up With Worship" Matt Dyer does a Q&A with the singer/songwriter of "Give You Praise," our own Joshua Emery.

    Then we talk politics! Should Christians be involved in politics? How should Christians vote when they don't like the candidates? Don't leave your faith outside the voting booth. But when it's all said and done, King Jesus still reigns and we still have kingdom work to do.
