In another special episode, Pastor J.D. addresses the question: “Is ‘Voting Blue’ the First Sign of Losing Faith?” The conversation explores a question Pastor J.D. was asked recently about whether “voting blue” is a harbinger of losing your faith. Key Takeaways: Silence on moral issues can lead to distrust. The character of leaders matters to faith communities. Inconsistencies in beliefs can alienate younger members. The church’s political stance affects its moral authority. Transparency is crucial for maintaining faith. Younger people are seeking authenticity in leadership. The future of the church depends on addressing these issues. Dive more into this conversation with Pastor J.D.’s new book, Everyday Revolutionary , which explores how ordinary believers can live out the gospel in ways that transform their communities.
