The Top 3 Reasons Why Christians Should Be Involved in Politics | with Tony Perkins

Should Christians get involved with politics, or should we just stay out of the way because "religion and politics don't mix"? While some Christians have the tendency to idolize political influence, others have gone to the opposite end of the spectrum, choosing to completely shy away from engaging in public policy altogether. What does the Bible and common sense have to say about this? This week Tony Perkins, the president of the Family Research Council who has worked with congress and presidents for decades, joins Frank to talk about the need for Christians to take politics seriously and use it as a means to advance the Gospel by protecting religious freedom and to love their neighbors by protecting them from evil for generations to come. As a pro-life/pro-family advocate and political leader with a background in both the U.S. Marine Corps and ministry, Tony will share some valuable insights into the current political landscape, urging Christians to actively participate in shaping laws and policies. During their conversation, Frank and Tony will answer questions like: How did Tony unexpectedly enter the realm of politics and why does he think more Christians should do the same? How can Christians be salt and light in the government and treat it as a mission field? What should Christians do when candidates for each party are morally compromised? How have Christians been negatively impacted by bad policies? What political issues can Christians disagree over? How can Christians and conservatives make real policy gains?   A force for good in Washington, Tony will lay out just a few reasons why Christians should not only get involved in politics, but view it as a form of ministry. He and Frank will also address the latest controversy with Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, explain the distinction between imposing religion and legislating morality, and lay out some of the key platform differences between Democrats and Republicans.
