High stakes and emotions regarding national politics produce situations Christians must meaningfully and thoughtfully navigate. Christians are embodied and specifically located creatures with vocations that demand political conciseness and often involvement. Yet these political situations and outcomes are not the object or sum of the faith. This episode explores the consequences of winning and losing elections and how Christian involvement and thought distinguish between faith and vocation so that we do not trust in princes but in Christ while faithfully serving our neighbors.
