For many, the prospect of another election year is a source of dread or of numb exhaustion; others have responded with aggression or defensiveness.\nOn our podcast, author and journalist Tim Alberta encourages us toward a better media diet, and to remember where our true allegiance lies:\n“I would pray alongside of you that in our political and civic engagement, no matter who it is that we ultimately vote for, no matter what policies we support, that our allegiance is never to the Donkeys or to the Republicans. Our allegiance is never to a political figure.\n“We have a king, we have a kingdom, and the best way for us to retain our saltiness is to prioritize that allegiance and that allegiance alone.”\nWe hope this conversation, coming in a heated election year and at a time of great political import for our nation, is, in fact, a kind of spiritual balm to you. May Tim’s guidance help us to retain our distinctiveness as we engage in the public square for the common good.\n\nThis podcast is an edited version of an online conversation recorded in early 2024.
