See below for a more comprehensive discussion of this topic: 
In this episode, Daniel McCoy and John Whittaker explore the biblical perspective on government. They discuss how scripture guides our understanding of governance, touching on the roles of church and state and the purpose of government.
Daniel and John start with a chat about whether the Bible addresses the purpose of government. John argues that while the Bible doesn’t lay out a full political philosophy, it does suggest that government’s role is to restrain evil and promote good. This idea serves as a foundation for their discussion.
They dive into a hypothetical about governments that overstep their bounds, suggesting that a biblical view would oppose both anarchism and totalitarianism. John agrees, noting that the New Testament expects Christians to respect and honor governing authorities.
John explains that ideally, human government would reflect God’s kingship. Since the world is flawed, we need human authorities to curb evil and promote well-being. This theme of human depravity and the need for governance is central to their discussion.
They highlight key biblical texts like Romans 13 and 1 Peter 2. Romans 13 emphasizes that all authority is from God and that resisting authority is opposing God’s ordinance. Rulers are seen as God’s servants who should promote good and punish evil. 1 Peter 2 also instructs believers to submit to human institutions, reinforcing that authorities are meant to deter evil and reward good.
The conversation then shifts to how these teachings impact political leaders and citizens. John and Daniel argue that leaders should craft policies that foster human flourishing and limit wrongdoing. Citizens should evaluate candidates based on biblical values. John advocates for smaller government, warning against expanding power and its burdens, echoing warnings from ancient Israel.
They discuss four historical models of church and state relations: medieval synthesis, complete opposition, reformed transformation, and evangelistic conversion. They illustrate these models and their implications.
John warns against trying to recreate past church-state dynamics in America. He cautions against the idea of “taking back America for God” through politics, urging Christians to focus on living out their values and transforming culture through the gospel instead.
Finally, they address when Christians might disobey the government. John frames this within a biblical context, arguing that disobedience is justified only when obeying the government means disobeying God. Historical examples like Daniel and the apostles support this view, reinforcing that loyalty to God comes first.
Throughout, they stress the importance of praying for leaders and governance that supports the church’s mission. They reference 1 Timothy 2, encouraging prayers for peaceful and godly living to further the church’s work.
In summary, this episode provides a biblical framework for understanding government, emphasizing the divine origin of authority, the role of government in restraining evil and promoting good, and how Christians should respond to governance.

See below for a more comprehensive discussion of this topic: 
In this episode John Whittaker and Daniel McCoy discuss how Christians should approach political, cultural, and ethical issues through a biblical lens. They aim to help Christians ground their decisions in biblical principles, focusing on character, commands, and consequences.
The episode begins with a friendly exchange between John and Daniel, who reflect on their ongoing discussions about politics and faith, highlighted in their book on following Jesus in a divided world. Their goal is to understand how to honor Jesus over nationalistic values.
John introduces the main topic: developing a framework for addressing complex political and ethical issues. He stresses the importance of understanding the guiding principles behind decisions of right and wrong. Daniel notes that many people rely on gut feelings, which can align with biblical moral sense, but acknowledges that humans often struggle to consistently follow moral laws.
They discuss consequentialism, an ethical theory where the moral worth of an action is judged by its outcomes. Daniel explains various ethical theories—virtue ethics, Kantian deontological ethics, and consequentialism. He points out that many people are consequentialists, making decisions based on perceived benefits. However, he warns that while consequences matter, they should be grounded in fundamental principles like God’s character and commands.
John and Daniel explore how these ethical theories impact political decisions, noting that debates often revolve around consequentialist arguments. While the Bible acknowledges the importance of consequences, it emphasizes that moral decisions should be rooted in God’s commands and character. Daniel uses utilitarianism to illustrate the dangers of basing moral decisions solely on outcomes.
The discussion shifts to how Christians should navigate ethical issues by prioritizing Christ’s character and God’s commands. Daniel outlines a three-part approach: starting with the character of Christ, following God’s commandments, and considering the consequences. He emphasizes that Christians should base their ethical decisions on Jesus’ virtues and biblical values, avoiding arbitrary or outcome-based reasoning.
John adds that reflecting God’s character and obeying His commands align with our nature as beings made in God’s image, fulfilling our purpose. He notes that holiness and human nature complement each other.
They then apply this framework to the issue of abortion and the sanctity of human life. They start by examining God’s character, emphasizing His value of human life and children. They contrast this with the dehumanizing actions associated with evil, such as murder and lying.
The conversation highlights the biblical commandment "do not murder" as a clear directive against taking innocent life. Daniel addresses debates around personhood and fetal status, arguing that the Bible’s emphasis on the sanctity of human life should shape the Christian stance on abortion. He warns against redefining life to justify abortion.
Daniel critiques ethicist Michael Tooley’s argument, which separates human life from personhood to reduce stigma around abortion and infanticide. He points out the dangers of arbitrary criteria for personhood, which can lead to broader justifications for dehumanization.
John references Peter Kreeft’s book "The Unaborted Socrates," which argues against abortion by affirming the personhood of preborn babies. While Daniel agrees, he cautions against relying solely on personhood arguments and stresses the need to focus on biblical teachings about the sanctity of human life.
The episode wraps up with practical advice for applying the framework to ethical issues. Daniel suggests that Christians form ethical statements based on God’s character and commands while considering consequences. For example, statements might affirm the value of human life, obedience to the command not to murder, and support for pro-life laws, while showing compassion for those affected by abortion.
John underscores the importance of clear ethical statements for guiding Christians in their decisions, emphasizing that this framework, as detailed in their book, helps Christians navigate political and cultural issues biblically.

See below for a more comprehensive discussion of this topic: 
This episode features an interview on how Christians can navigate the intersection of faith and politics in a polarized world. Daniel and John discuss the importance of avoiding politicized versions of the gospel and offer guidance for thoughtful discipleship in a divided landscape.John introduces the phrase "punch right, coddle left," describing how it’s easier in broader culture to critique conservative views while being gentler on left-leaning ideas. This leads to a discussion about how some beliefs are safer to support because they align with marginalized groups. Church leaders often avoid discussing certain conservative values to prevent alienating newcomers.
Daniel asks if this trend varies by generation, and they reminiscing about a time when evangelicals moved away from political conservatism during their college years. They speculate that future generations might swing back to traditional values. The discussion then turns to "third wayism," a middle-ground stance that avoids full alignment with any political party. The guest challenges this approach, arguing that Christianity isn’t about finding a middle ground but about holding firmly to biblical convictions, even when they don’t align with political parties.
Next, they discuss the risks of adopting "red cap" and "blue cap" gospels, symbolizing blind loyalty to Republican and Democratic platforms. The "red cap" gospel is critiqued for equating faithfulness with the Republican agenda, while neglecting Jesus' teachings. The guest, who admits to a conservative bias, clarifies that the Christian worldview shouldn’t be confused with the Republican platform.
The "blue cap" gospel, viewed through the lens of intersectional feminism and critical theory, is described as an ideology that seeks to dismantle power structures and elevate marginalized voices, often conflicting with traditional Christian teachings. The guest explains how these ideologies influence progressive politics, leading to reinterpretations of scripture to avoid perceived harm.
Daniel raises concerns about the practical effects of these ideological shifts, noting the cultural chaos they seem to create. The guest agrees, suggesting that intersectional frameworks often create conflict between historical and marginalized groups, altering societal values.
The episode wraps up with a reflection on the dangers of these prepackaged gospels. Both hosts emphasize that these oversimplify and distort the gospel, leading to a loss of true Christian teachings and community division. They express concern that evangelicalism’s association with the "red cap" gospel alienates potential churchgoers who view the church as politically biased. This division also fractures the church itself along political lines.Finally, the hosts call for a return to a gospel-centered approach, stressing that the kingdom of God operates independently of political affiliations. By focusing on love, joy, and peace in the Holy Spirit, Christians can navigate political participation without compromising their faith. They highlight the need for discipleship and personal discernment in political engagement to maintain unity and true Christian witness.

See below for a more comprehensive discussion of this topic: In the episode titled "Politics Interview 6: Should we try to influence how fellow Christians vote?" the hosts engage in a discussion about the relationship between Christian values and political engagement. They explore whether Christians should involve themselves in politics and if it's appropriate to influence the voting behavior of fellow believers.The conversation begins with some friendly banter between John and Daniel, setting a relaxed tone. Daniel questions whether Christians should care about politics, and John responds emphatically, arguing that political decisions have significant real-world consequences that Christians cannot afford to ignore.
They then discuss the Paris Olympics controversy, where a drag queen portrayed the Last Supper, sparking outrage. Whoopi Goldberg’s suggestion to simply “turn the TV off” if offended prompts a debate about political disengagement. Both agree that while stepping back occasionally can be good for mental health, complete disengagement is irresponsible for Christians. They advocate for a balanced approach where Christians engage with culture, uphold biblical values, and maintain healthy boundaries.
John shares a personal story about his brother, who decided to limit his consumption of political news to improve his mental health and better love those around him, even if they had differing political opinions. This highlights the need for balance between political involvement and personal well-being.
The discussion then shifts to whether discipling relationships should involve guidance on how to vote. John shares his experience, emphasizing that he prefers to guide people through critical thinking and values rather than telling them how to vote. Daniel agrees, stressing that Christianity should inform political convictions without being tied to partisan politics. They both highlight the importance of focusing on core values over specific policies.
John and Daniel introduce the Renew.org framework, which categorizes issues into "Essential," "Important," and "Personal." This framework helps Christians differentiate between core biblical principles and their contemporary applications, encouraging respectful and thoughtful political discussions within the church.
As a concrete example, John discusses the division among Christians over mask mandates during the COVID-19 pandemic, lamenting how differences of opinion led some to leave their churches. He underscores the importance of practicing the principles of Romans 14, which call for accepting one another despite differing convictions.
The episode concludes with a call for Christians to approach political issues with respect and grace, prioritizing unity in the church over political alignment. The hosts emphasize that while political decisions should be prayerful and aligned with biblical values, Christians must also maintain love and respect for those with differing views. Ultimately, the episode encourages Christians to engage thoughtfully and respectfully with political issues, always rooted in biblical truth.

In this podcast episode, Bobby Harrington leads a discussion with Guy Hammond, John Whittaker, and Daniel McCoy on navigating faith in a politically divided world. Bobby kicks things off by introducing his guests, all of whom play significant roles in their ministries, and sets the stage by acknowledging the challenging political and social landscape Christians face today.
Guy Hammond, the Executive Director of "Strength in Weakness," shares his story of transitioning from an active gay lifestyle to a committed Christian life, during which he has abstained from homosexual activity for nearly 40 years. His ministry now supports Christians dealing with unwanted same-sex attractions and their families.
Guy also discusses the broader cultural and political changes in Canada, where traditional Christian beliefs are increasingly dismissed as myths. He warns that the U.S. could face a similar path if these trends continue.Bobby then points out the sharp decline in church attendance in Canada, comparing it to the 1960s when more Canadians attended church regularly than Americans. He sees this decline as part of a broader cultural shift away from Christian values.
In response to Daniel McCoy’s questions, Guy reiterates the difficulties Christians face in upholding their beliefs amid political and social pressures. He advises against viewing LGBTQ individuals as enemies, urging Christians instead to focus on opposing ideologies that contradict biblical principles.
John Whittaker connects the conversation to themes from First Peter, encouraging Christians to be known for doing good, even when misunderstood or maligned, aligning with Guy’s idea that living well is a form of resistance and testimony.
Guy also mentions that Muslim communities in Canada, like conservative Christians, are pushing back against liberal laws on sexuality and parental rights, showing that traditional values on these issues are not unique to Christianity.
As the episode concludes, Guy highlights resources from his ministry, including a documentary about his life, "Finding Guy," which serves as an educational tool for Christians dealing with LGBTQ issues. The conversation wraps up with reflections on the spiritual challenges of living in a politically charged environment.

See below for a more comprehensive discussion of this topic: 
This episode features an in-depth conversation between Daniel from Renew-Org and Ben Cachiaras, a respected church leader from Mountain Christian Church in Baltimore. The discussion focuses on how church leaders can navigate the complexities and divisiveness of an election season, particularly when political issues infiltrate religious communities.
The episode opens with Daniel asking Ben to share three main principles that church leaders should follow during chaotic election seasons. Ben emphasizes the importance of unity within the church, noting that the polarization seen in society has seeped into religious communities. He stresses that maintaining unity is essential for the church's witness to the gospel and recounts Jesus' plea for unity in John 17. Ben also references the Apostle Paul's teachings in Ephesians 4, urging leaders to work diligently to keep their communities united in a spirit of peace.
Daniel and Ben agree that leaders should not remain silent on contentious issues, as their congregations are heavily influenced by media outlets like Fox News and CNN. Ben underscores the necessity for church leaders to address political and social issues thoughtfully, without being partisan, to avoid damaging the church's gospel message.
The conversation then turns to the role of social media in amplifying divisive behaviors. Both hosts discuss how Christians often behave aggressively online in ways they wouldn't in face-to-face interactions. Ben suggests that church leaders should directly address proper social media usage in their teachings, reminding congregants that their online behavior should reflect Christian values. He proposes using passages like Colossians 3, which urges believers to rid themselves of anger and slander, to guide social media conduct.
Throughout the episode, Ben touches on the broader theme of maintaining focus on the gospel during election seasons. He warns against the dangers of mixing politics with Christianity, as it can alienate those the church aims to reach. Ben points out that while political engagement is important, the church's primary mission is to make disciples and spread the gospel.
To illustrate his points, Ben uses biblical passages such as Romans 14, emphasizing that disagreements over non-essential issues, like policies or political stances, should not lead to division. He stresses the need for church leaders to elevate their congregations' perspectives, urging them to remember their ultimate citizenship in heaven and the importance of their witness on earth.
As the episode concludes, Ben addresses how to decide which cultural issues to address from the pulpit. He believes that when an issue is prominent in everyone's minds and has significant implications for the church, it should be discussed. Ben also highlights the need for preachers to remind their congregations of the overarching vision of God’s sovereignty, no matter who holds political power, referencing Isaiah 6.
The episode wraps up with a call to prayer for wisdom, as church leaders face the challenge of guiding their communities through politically turbulent times. Ben's insights provide a thoughtful framework for balancing political engagement with maintaining the core mission of the church, offering practical advice and biblical grounding for church leaders navigating election seasons.

See below for a longer description:
This episode begins with John Whitaker introducing the panel and setting the stage for the conversation. Justin Jordan, a pastor at Real Life Ministries Treasure Valley in Meridian, Idaho, shares his experiences and insights from his recent sermon series about following Jesus in a politically charged environment. He explains that the series aimed not to dictate how to vote but to encourage believers to engage thoughtfully and biblically in the political realm. The conversation then shifts to why it's significant to teach Christians to think critically about scripture and God's kingdom rather than simply adopting the views of their preferred political analysts.
Daniel McCoy engages Justin in a thought-provoking discussion about the importance of not swaying to either political side purely out of comfort or refuge. Justin stresses the critical role of scripture in guiding believers to think deeply and engage with both sides of the political spectrum, highlighting that following Jesus' teachings often means embracing ideas that challenge the status quo of both major political factions.
Throughout the interview, John and Daniel prompt Justin to reflect on the reactions of his congregation to his sermon series. Justin reveals that while some congregants were resistant at first, there was a significant group eager to learn how to handle political conversations with grace and biblical insight. This willingness to engage stems from their experiences with political division and the desire to navigate these conversations without fracturing relationships.
As the episode progresses, the conversation steers towards the practical outworking of justice and mercy in political engagement. Justin outlines that these concepts are fundamental to God's character and should consequently be integral to a Christian's life. He references scripture to back up the importance of caring for the oppressed, the hungry, and other marginalized groups, urging believers to actively embody these values in their communities.
The dialogue shifts to the role of Christians in politics and community service. Justin asserts that while voting is important, it's not enough. Christians are called to engage deeply and relationally within their communities, exemplifying God's justice and mercy. He shares practical examples from his church's initiatives, like their involvement with Meridian Food Bank and Stanton Healthcare, as well as their ongoing support for a local Title 1 school, Meridian Elementary.
The episode culminates with a discussion on the importance of nuanced, courageous leadership in church communities, especially in politically charged times. Justin advises church leaders to navigate these complex conversations with wisdom, starting with internal discussions among church leadership before addressing the broader congregation.
This episode is a compelling exploration of how Christians can faithfully engage in politics without compromising their spiritual integrity. Join us for this thought-provoking conversation that promises to inspire and challenge your perspectives on faith and politics.

See below for a longer description:–In the "Real Life Theology" podcast episode titled "Gen Z on Identity," host Reagan Grace Gibbs explores cultural and theological perspectives on identity, especially from a Christian viewpoint. Reagan, a student ministry director and content creator, kicks off the episode by welcoming listeners and introducing the topic of Gen Z's views on identity.
This episode is special as it wraps up the current season. Reagan expresses mixed emotions about the finale, excited for future episodes but also reflective on the impactful discussions that have taken place.
The hosts pose a central question: Do individuals truly know their identity? They discuss the cultural confusion around identity and how society often normalizes and celebrates what they consider sinful identities, contrasting this with their Christian beliefs. Reagan emphasizes that sins remain sins, despite societal acceptance, and stresses aligning one's identity with biblical teachings.
Reagan argues that Jesus did address issues of sexuality, gender, and marriage, referencing Genesis to support this claim. They also discuss the disparity between the numerous days dedicated to LGBTQIA+ celebrations and the fewer Christian holidays, challenging the idea that the LGBTQIA+ community is marginalized, given the high rates of celebration. They point to ongoing issues like depression and homelessness as signs of deeper problems with the ideology, not a lack of acceptance.
Reagan reflects on the backlash Christians often face when sharing biblical teachings on identity, suggesting that truth can be seen as hate in a society steeped in untruths. Both hosts advocate for open and loving discussions on these topics, avoiding both extreme condemnation and uncritical acceptance. They share personal stories to illustrate their belief that true love requires honesty about wrongdoing.
The episode highlights the challenges of balancing love and truth within the Christian community, calling for a method that communicates truth lovingly without compromising on biblical principles. They reference Jackie Hill Perry, who transitioned from identifying as a lesbian to becoming a committed Christian writer and speaker, as an example of transformation and theological insight.
Reagan and Manny also discuss how different cultures perceive homosexuality, sharing a story from Reagan's visit to Kenya, where homosexuality is severely punished. They contrast this with American views and discuss biblical interpretations of homosexuality as a perversion of natural relations. Manny reads from Romans chapter one to support their stance.
As the episode concludes, Reagan announces the next season's focus on politics, promising in-depth discussions and relevant information. They thank listeners for their engagement throughout the season and encourage them to stay tuned for future content, emphasizing the continued journey of faith and understanding.

Following Jesus in a Politically Divided World 

CAN WE LEAN INTO THE ISSUES AND LOVE WELL?



How should disciples of Jesus navigate a society clawing itself apart through politics? Should we disengage? Pick a side? Offer slogans which sound nice but express little? Insist that true Christians vote in such-and-such a way? Pursue tranquility by making contentious topics off-limits for church?

Following Jesus in a Politically Divided World suggests that disciples of Jesus navigate a politically divided world . . . by being disciples of Jesus. Jesus models the character and provides the tools we need to live as perceptive and peaceable in volatile times. Whittaker and McCoy invite you to answer 21 questions, including:

  • What is the purpose of government?
  • Do you know the times you’re living in?
  • What hills are worth dying on?
  • How do you pray for your nation?
  • How do you figure out what’s right and wrong as a Christian?
  • What does Christianity teach about the bedroom, womb, deathbed, environment, and battlefield?

Together, let’s face stormy horizons the way Jesus showed us: fully awake, yet filled with peace.
