Can You REALLY Follow Jesus and Stay Silent on Politics? with Pastor Josh McPherson

Has the Church become more political in recent years? Or have politics drifted out of their lane and into the lane of the Church? Pastor Josh McPherson of Grace City Church in Wenatchee, WA, joins Frank to discuss why the Church must restart its God-given responsibility as the voice of morality in a secular culture.

They'll dive into Josh’s firsthand experiences of advancing the Kingdom through political engagement and why he believes the "evacuation" of Christians from the public square has created a dangerous leadership vacuum that is detrimental not only to people, but to the propagation of the gospel. Tune in as they answer questions like:

• How did a thriving conservative "megachurch" emerge in the liberal state of Washington?
• What did Josh witness during his recent interactions with President Trump and his team?
• How did the Biden Administration specifically target the religious freedoms of Christians?
• Why is the "separation of church and state" often misunderstood?
• What's the best way to love your neighbor?
• What's the difference between a theocracy and constitutional republic?
• How did the Bible influence the very structure of the American government?
• Does active political engagement make Christians more self-righteous?
• Why is the Church's voice essential for maintaining a first-world country?
• What is the Black Robed Regiment?
• How can Christians represent Jesus well in our everyday lives?
