“Don’t talk about politics from the pulpit.” 

It’s advice pastors hear all the time. But what if staying silent is actually the problem?

In this deeply personal episode, Adam Hamilton tackles one of the most controversial questions facing people of faith today: Should your religion shape your politics? Drawing from a sermon that generated both gratitude and criticism, Adam makes a compelling case for why faith and politics cannot, and more importantly should not, be separated.

You’ll hear: 

• The story of a 42-year-old American citizen living in fear in his own country
• The moral framework behind “just laws” versus “just enforcement”
• Why empathy might be the most important (and most difficult) Christian practice in our divided times.
  
  

Adam wrestles with tough questions like: 

• What does Jesus actually require of us in the public square? 
• When is it right to protest? 
• How do we avoid becoming polarizing agents while still speaking truth? 
• What does it mean to “speak for those who cannot speak” in today’s America?

Whether you lean left, right, or somewhere in between, this episode challenges the idea that faith is a private matter with no bearing on how we engage the world around us.
