In this bonus episode, the team welcomes the Senior Pastor of Hope Community Church, Steve Triechler to answer the question, “Who should I vote for?” The LDI crew and their guest discuss how, when, and if followers of Christ should engage in politics, including how to talk to people with whom we disagree politically. This episode features a leading question, quote of the week, and A LOT of questions intended to help imperfect leaders to grow.
Quote of the Week:
“Morality binds and blinds. It binds us into ideological teams that fight each other as though the fate of the world depended on our side winning each battle. It blinds us to the fact that each team is composed of good people who have something important to say.”
-Jonathan Haidt, Righteous Mind – Why Good People Are Divided By Politics and Religion
Steve Treichler is also the host of Roman Untangled.
