Episode 09: How should we handle politics?

Today, we’re going to tackle perhaps the most relevant question that is on everyone’s mind for the next couple of weeks.

How should we handle politics?

We live in one of the most polarizing times in United States history, and the hostility in the political landscape can be felt everyday on social media. It’s clear that the way we interact with politics as a culture does not work, so is there a better way?

At Redeemer LSQ, we believe there is. We believe that the Christian view offers a third option to left and right, and red and blue. But in this episode, we’re not going to tell you how to vote. Rather, we’re going to outline why the secular approach to politics isn’t working, why the Christian view does, and how to live that out practically in your own life.

We’re going to talk about political idolatry, and how to identify if you’ve made politics an idol.

And we’re going to discuss the fallout of the election, and how to handle the results as we move forward as a community in the next few years.

What is Q&R Podcast?

We’re so excited to officially launch something we’ve been working on the last few months behind the scenes — a long-form Question and Response (Q&R) Podcast! At Redeemer Lincoln Square, we value questions and the people who ask them because questions lead to dialogue, dialogue fosters relationships, and relationships create community. So in that sense, this project is a natural progression of this missional value.
We will be releasing one episode per month and no question will be off-limits.
