Detangling Faith and Politics: Seeking the Kingdom of God First
What happens when the lines blur between faith and politics, between fear and faith? And what is forming each? After all, we are all being discipled by something. As followers of Jesus, we want the Word of God to form us so that our lives truly seek the kingdom of God first.
Episode #155: Detangling Faith and Politics: Seeking the Kingdom of God First through a Cruciform Life
Brian Drinkwine is a pastor and author raised in Nashville, Tennessee, who writes for people trying to untangle faith in Jesus from political captivity. His long-form reflections on faith, politics, and the Kingdom of God have reached tens of millions of readers and viewers online. He connects with more than 50,000 followers across his social channels. He and his wife, Sarah, have two daughters. Moreover, he quotes Yoda in his book. Need I say more?
In this interview, Brian shares an extraordinarily candid confession about how political partisanship hijacked his own spiritual life. He also offers a way out that doesn’t demand answers from a distance, but offers “companionship from nearby.”
Written for Christians who love Jesus but feel spiritually homeless, Kingdom Over Empire isn’t a book about who to vote for. It’s about who has been forming you. And this interview gives us a fresh perspective on a love that chooses to die for its enemies. A love we are called to walk in daily. I know you’ll be encouraged by our conversation!
As always, I’m in this with you, each UnPerfect step of the way…
