Faith & Politics: A Pastor’s Take on Voting Ep. 322

Love & Life with Dr. Karin & Pastor Elliott

Elliott and I didn’t grow up with a lot of political discourse. Our family delved into a wide array of topics, but as educators and musicians, we tended to discuss chord charts and pop tunes more than public policy.

In fact, as most of you know, our father was a lifelong Democrat and our mother is a lifelong Republican. Yet, they possessed the same core values, had a strong 57 year marriage, and raised three well-adjusted kids. Could that happen nowadays?

During most of our lifetime, it was considered impolite to bring up religion and politics. And, pastors often refrained entirely from wading into political waters.

But to me, these times feel different. I was curious if Elliott sensed the same.

So, today we address questions around faith and politics.

We specifically ask:

• Should Christians vote?
• Is it appropriate for pastors to discuss politics from the pulpit?
• Are certain party values for Christian than others?

When Elliott became a pastor, our Dad encouraged him to speak boldly. We’ll honor our father’s wishes and boldly discuss our hot takes on these hot topics.
