  • Who to Vote For | Sage Reverie Podcast Ep. 20
    Nov 4 2024

    Election season is here, and choosing who to vote for can feel overwhelming. In this episode of the Sage Reverie Podcast, we explore how Christians can approach voting with wisdom, compassion, and a desire to make a positive impact. Instead of voting selfishly, we dive into what it means to vote with a selfless heart focused on helping others.

    In this episode, we discuss:

    • Choosing Wisely: How to prioritize the issues that matter most to Christ rather than simply aligning with a party or group.
    • Beyond Groupthink: How to avoid voting based on personality, popularity, or group bias—and make decisions rooted in research and conviction.
    • Voting Selflessly: Why Christians should vote for what benefits others, especially those in need, rather than personal gain.
    • Navigating Complex Issues: Insights into the nuances of issues like immigration, healthcare, and the environment.
    • Prayerful Decision-Making: How faith and prayer can guide us in making informed, compassionate choices in the voting booth.
