About this episode

The episode explores the relationship between politics and faith, questioning the true source of transformation in the world and the priorities of Christians.

Is the world ultimately transformed through the voting booth, or through a people who faithfully live out the "strange" teachings of Christ? Do Christians need governments to enforce God's standards, or is a holy, set-apart life sufficient? What comes to people's minds when they think about you? Your politics? Your opinions? Your accomplishments? Or do they think of Christ? If your life points more clearly to a kingdom other than to the Kingdom of God, it may be time to ask where your true priorities—and your true allegiance—lie. Join the guys as they explore what it means to pursue holiness, redefine success, and faithfully represent Christ in a world with very different values. Because the best conversations happen after class.
