While this was penned in 2012 after President Obama was re-elected, just cross out Obama and put Trump or Biden or whoever our next president is and the truth still rings out. Yes, we are commanded in the Bible to honor our leaders. Yes, we should pray for them. And yes, we should continue to advocate for justice with respect and humility.

Pastor Brian Zahnd of Word of Life (Saint Joseph, Missouri) offers a ten-point guide encouraging Christians to approach politics with humility, love, and civility. Zahnd stresses that while political engagement is important, it should not overshadow the core Christian values of love and unity.
The "CCPL Guide to Voting" is a non-manipulative voting guide for Christians, encouraging thoughtful civic engagement prioritizing love for neighbor and communal flourishing. It presents five key questions to consider when voting: what you're passionate about, how candidates meet personal and community needs, the cultural impact of candidates, and whether you would regret your vote if it determined the election outcome. If you don't know where to begin when it comes to voting, this short guide is an excellent starting point.
Reflect on your average day and consider the routines, rituals, and practices you follow. These daily habits—what you spend your time on, the media you consume, and the people and places you engage with—compose a personal liturgy of life. This liturgy shapes you both politically and spiritually, often without being critically examined. In The Liturgy of Politics, Kaitlyn Schiess challenges readers to reflect on what influences their political and spiritual lives and to understand what true Christian political responsibility entails.
Attorney Justin Giboney and pastor Chris Butler breakdown policies and headlines through a Christian worldview without a party bias. If you are disillusioned or without a party then this is the podcast for you. It is nuanced, challenging and a desperately needed point of view that is distinctly Christian, but not partisan.
Beginning in March of 2024 the Holy Post started a weekly voter guide complete with a short, sub-3-minute video discussing a pertinent topic related to politics, useful resources about the topic, a weekly prayer, and a moment of joy. The guides have touched on consuming media, not having the last word, being curious, local politics, and anger. The hosts don't tell you who to vote for or what to think but offer a uniquely Christian posture on how to approach politics. Highly recommended.
What is the foundation that Christians should build from when voting? What does the Bible have to say about government? What does the Bible have to say about authority? Pastor Tim Mackie says that since the start of American politics Christians and non-Christians have cherry-picked verses to support their agenda. This is a two-fold tragedy. First, it removes the verse from its context. Second, it uses the Bible when it is convenient instead of listening to the Bible and patiently working through the entire story. Mackie's passion for the Bible bleeds through his lecture as he dives into Genesis 1 as a political theology. He connects the image of God to ruling authority to justice and then to politics. His in-depth theological analysis of the foundation of Christian political engagement is a masterclass on what the Bible says about a Christian's political involvement.
