Justin is the co-founder of the AND Campaign, a Christian civic organization for raising civic literacy among Christians so that we can engage in a better way. He talks with the Perrys about the idea that our public witness doesn’t belong to either political party, and that parties are just tools, not identities.

The beauty about all this is that no matter who ends up winning, we as Christians should all have the same response;pray for the new president and know for sure that God is still in control. This world will indeed get worse no matter who’s in office. That’s a fact.
There is only one side that is even willing to consider Christians. However, I have faith that no matter how it turns out God is the final answer so things will be ok as long as I keep my faith in the Lord.
Comment section proved the point of this episode. Lord help us.
Elaborate.
@@YaaBoateng Clearly cuz the way some of these ppl post, you can't tell they haven't even watched the entire podcast. They just want to be cheerleaders for their party and troll.
This was so encouraging to me as a follower of Christ who is young and a college student right now! I've been wrestling with my decision to even vote in this election because both sides have forms of Godliness but are not Godly. So, I was extremely turned off, but after hearing this, I'm more open-minded, taking the right position that honors the Lord and engaging in prayer throughout this process. God bless, y'all!
I never comment. I listen often. Abstaining from sex should be discussed with abortion. It was mentioned that issues that cause women to have abortion need to be addressed. It was said many woman have abortions because they can not afford a child. Why not mention God provides. Why not mention trusting God. I had an abortion for the reason mentioned. Shame on me. We should never depend on the government for provision. What the government chooses will never affect God's provisions for his people. When we do not vote against sinful practices we vote against God. The old testiment shows the consequences of wanting the government to provide.
I voted because it’s my right! And there’s no way I’m going to miss out. My granddad was a veteran and participated in the voting rights act. People fought to vote and died because of that.
Don’t let that history be your only reason. As a vet I pray that you find your voice from your experiences bc it’s more than a tradition that comes with it.
I think this brother is very sober minded and genuinely cares about trying to serve the Lord. With that being said, I honestly cannot see how Christians can examine both parties and not see a clear distinction between one party that is clearly anti Christian, and the other party that is very flawed but still at least attempts to hold to Christian values.
Thank you
Is the party Anti-Christian or Anti-Christian extremist?
Yes… maybe years ago it was different but today… it’s clear there’s a party whose “position” is almost completely against The One True God.
Well, how can that be when both parties have antichrist values and one way or another? Keep trying to make this a Christian election and it’s not choosing one or the other is not going to send you to Heaven or hell. Both have positives and both have negatives. Stop trying to make it. Something is not and call it what it is. Neither candidate is a Christian. We’re not voting for a bishop or a pastor. We’re voting for a carnal president.
Can y’all quit talking around the issue; just say what you want with your chest, my goodness.
If you are getting your news from a bias source… that statement right there! The spirit of discernment is much needed above all else.
ALL news is biased.
Biblically correct over politically correct!
So thankful for this conversation it is so needed right now in the body of Christ, Lord help us all to vote with the right position. At the end of the day we follow our God shepherd may God’s word bring guidance and conviction where needed!
I been feeling the tension for months 😢. Good to know I’m not alone.
So very impressed with the way Preston led this conversation!
I am so glad & relieved to see someone talking about this! I am an independent for many of the reasons spoken about here. I am not voting democratic. However, I am terrified of voting for Trump. Looking back at History, I do not see the Christian values being held up thru Trump. Jews also thought they were supporting someone they thought would do good by them…. And that’s where my struggle is. I just don’t see it presently.
Democrats are marxists.
If you haven't early voted take time before next Tuesday to pray and possibly fast. I'm also an independent voter
Right! The struggle 😩
There's a saying: Vote and hold your nose. And become an intercessor.
Same.
Handled the topic with caution for sure. I don’t think trump is accurately representing the republican party in its connectivity to Christ and the Word of God, which is what makes this difficult for those who seek to keep Christ centered during this election season. Don’t agree with everything Harris stands for, but I believe within the context of this day and age, understanding the weight of free will and it’s link to biblical concequences can be emphasized with her a president. The lord is king, not a dictator.
Marxism is more of a threat.
Trump is no dictator.
"Handled topic with caution" with Harris as president, Open borders, men in women sports, transgender ideology, children being taught sexual content and that's okay because "orange man bad" 😢 SMH
And she will endorse killing babies, sex changes for inmates and lawlessness at our borders which will also take American jobs. As a Christian- you have to vote on their policies because they're equally flawed individuals.
Free will is the new Democratic spin in freedom of choice, ie abortion.
As a believer, I proudly voted Trump🇺🇸🫶🏽 for a 2nd time. A lot of Christians have made race an idol. I vote on policies and biblical alignment. There’s more hate, evil and demonization being done on the other side.
Have you even watched one of Trump's rallies? Nothing but pure hate. Vile and disgusting rhetoric. 🙄
i keep hearing people say "vote for the policies not the person." but God tells us in His word to test all things by His Spirit and that we will know those in His church by their fruit. it grieves me how excited Christians are about either candidate, knowing that they don't visibly bear any of the fruits of the Spirit. (for reference, the fruits of the Spirit are love, peace, joy, gentleness, kindness, faithfulness, goodness, patience, and self control)
Policies shape the world forever, whether you like it or not you do not know any candidate personally so making a decision based off “the person” is irresponsible. There’s wolves in sheep clothing all throughout politics. Atleast Trump keeps it real he’s flawed
This is so good!
@@Bornclutch62 i think you inserting trump into this statement when it's about both candidates equally kinda proves the point i was making. of course both candidates are flawed, we all are (that's why Jesus as our Savior is so sweet!) but are either of them submitted under the Lord or under themselves? regardless of the outward expression, rebellion against God and an absence of the Holy Spirit will lead to demise.
And he speaks the name of Jesus definitely wolf in sheep's clothing for a lot of people including kamala@@Bornclutch62
Actually, if you read your Bible you will see that the Lord chose EXTREMELY flawed individuals to do incredible things for the kingdom. That's the beautiful thing about our God- you don't need to be perfect to be used, because it's not about us, it's about His glorious mercy and grace which we don't deserve!
I wish more people would have these types of conversations
After working in politics for 15 years as a lobbyist I asked God to deliver me from that job and I can’t even vote 🗳️ because politics is too DISGUSTING 🤢
Your prospective is needed to educate us on the real truth going on behind closed doors and in conference rooms etc…#shareyourexperience
Discernment. Maturity. Impartiality. That’s what we need as believers during this time. And the comment section proved that we ain’t there yet. God help us.
Preston said it perfectly Christian should have pushback on both sides.
What Preston said was really good. Sometimes we fail to see PEOPLE. We're so stuck on what our stance is that we fail to realise that certain people may have different concerns on why they may vote a certain way. He gave a good example of the old church lady in the black church who votes blue because she's concerned about her grandson's future. Not everyone is going to have your concerns and policies in mind. Does that mean she supports abortion or the gay lifestyle... absolutely not. She just fears for her grandson's future...and that's valid.
Just like the person that votes red because their school is pushing an ideology that is harmful to their adolescent kid. I understand both sides of the argument. It boils down to what things are important to the individual person.
When I hear ignorant statements like "you cant vote Democrat and be a Christian", I laugh. So basically what that tells me is everyone in church including lil old ladies in church hats in predominantly African American communities are all unsaved and going to hell because a large number vote blue? That's utter nonsense. Different people have different priorities that they find important to them.
Theres Democrats that don't support abortion or the LGBT lifestyle, just like theres Republicans that aren't blatantly racist, misogynistic, America idolizing zealots either.
The whole us or them thing is erasing any room for nuance and that's just not realistic.
First of all, the leaders of the Democratic party are advancing the LGBT AGENDA! The open border policy is overwhelming big citys, including criminal gangs from Venezuela who have killed American citizens. I'm not saying Trump is a Saint, but he is a better choice than Harris.
Be honest, how many people actually pray before voting?
Ridiculous if we don’t. If he is Lord we should consult him in everything- Lord in name only for some.
I voted today and almost cried a few times on the way and just kept praying.
@ that’s all we can do sis. Pray and do what we are being led to do, and trust him in it all.
Me!
I do.
It comes down to what your values are. I am not voting personality or human frailty. I am voting for the party who supports my christian values at higher level. Kamala aside , and Trump aside, there is a party that stands more for christian values than the other.
I agree this was well said.
Amen
That’s not true but do you. How you vote won’t send you to heaven or hell
@@much2lovely which part is not true exactly? 🤔,
I totally agree
I chose to vote for the party that resonates with my values! We all have the freedom to decide, so let's support the candidates that feel right for us. It's important to encourage each other to vote without feeling pressured by others' opinions.
I choose to vote for any individual on any party for all the different positions on the ballot after prayerful consideration and research to see who is most aligned with Biblical policies. I don't expect them to be unflawed or save me. My God can turn the hearts of kings like a river bend and sees the nations as a drop in the bucket. I thank God for the freedom to represent him at the ballot box and encourage other believers to let the Lord lead them❤
I think positioning yourself with certain values IS taking a side. But isn't that the beauty of being hot or cold? Preston spoke at the conference about Christians being called narrow minded, but that that's ok because we really do chose the narrow way. It's such a wrestle, but I was super encouraged by it!
I understand the stance of being against abortion; however, if your belief is that the ends (ie. abortion bans causing statistically more infant & women deaths, criminalizing miscarriages, & putting women’s health further at risk) justifies the means, then I encourage a heart check.
Also, many people are voting Trump for his stance on abortion but neglecting the remaining of his policies on the demolition of affordable health care, social security, & the department of education. As well as his painful rhetoric & policies gear towards immigrants & minorities. To the many that say one policy reflects Christ while ignoring the others, I ask you what does it mean to advocate for & love others.
In the Book of Genesis, God’s first instruction to mankind was to go forth, be fruitful, multiply and take dominion of the earth. Abortions and the LGBTQIA lifestyle is the complete antithesis of those marching orders. And yet, those are the two main running/talking points for the Democratic Party. This was an easy choice for people who know and honor the word of God. VERY.
Well said 👏🏽👏🏽
@@endtimeremnant2305 and once again you just negated everything else that he said and only focusing on abortion what about everything else that he said? And those are not the two main talking points. Having a tunnel focus on one or two issues is not the way to go. But do what you want. God is in control either way. I don’t bow to a president about to God. I don’t care what party they are in.
@@endtimeremnant2305Yet Matthew 22:36-40 speaks on the greatest commandment being loving others. Is voting for a person whose policies are the complete antithesis of that marching order honoring God?
Please understand there is not a single abortion law that criminalizes miscarriages.
And I remember Preston saying in a sermon that we as Christians should be narrow minded because the Word says broad is the way to destruction. But when it comes to politics and policy we should be more broad again? Make it make sense. Lol
It's all about race for Cradle Democrats.
Amber Thurman wasn't "just" having an abortion. And now she doesn't have her baby's life nor her own.
Exactly! So many have missed the point of those who have lost their rights for healthcare. Doctors will let you die before they will do a D&C to keep you alive be for they go to jail. If God give you the choice to even choose Him, government has no right to dictate your right to choose what you want to do with your body. It’s a heart thing!
Absolutely. That's why this is not a black or white issue. There is a need for medical procedures depending on the health & life of the mother or the baby or both. And many of those procedures are considered "abortions", although they are not killing a fetus for the sake of not wanting to be a mother.
@@ckd0680Exactly. These distinctions need to be addressed and the diagnosis needs to be changed.
I appreciated this entire conversation and will be following his ig pages. So thankful for the commentary and viewpoints.
I vote for Jesus ❤
Ooookkk!!!!Truthunedited made a great video about the election!
Loved this!! I started this election season with the intent to vote for my selection, however I have been feeling much conviction about my choice. I since have started having conversation & research on viewpoints from the other side. I am glad for conversations like this because it reminds us what’s really important, the representation of God. We should all do research on both sides and Pray! See what convicts you most and vote on what leans most to God’s commandments,regardless of party
“Therefore when Jesus perceived that they were about to come and take Him by force to make Him king, He departed again to the mountain by Himself alone.”
John 6:15
This earthly kingdom will fade, but so many of us don’t seem to realize this.
These parties are different sides of the same coin.
They are beholden to cooperate interests and lobbyists.
This is the Babylon’s system
I try to avoid talking about Politics cause I don’t wanna loose relationships 😫 anyone else relate?
Well, Matthew 10:34-36 is pretty clear. The truth of this gospel is actually quite divisive. It separates the wheat from the tares big time.
Talking politics can be uncomfortable but if you ever lose a relationship over having an opinion of your own, it tells you everything you need to know about the relationship.
If they remove themselves from you because of your beliefs. Your relationships were conditional and had no solid foundation. Respectfully. Be happy.
Be well In Jesus Name Jackie
So needed and on time!!! Thanks
Really great podcast! As a believer I do not support abortion. I had a thought recently around this that God gives us the freedom of choice and maybe if we try to 'tell' someone how to live through enforcing certain policies we are in a way removing that choice from them. I am not saying that we shouldn't try to have policies around it but maybe we should also continue to educate women about their options and continue to share the Gospel as disciples, of God's love for humans before the formation in the womb. I am not knowledgeable on the statistics of Christian abortions but I am thinking that maybe the majority of abortions may be among non-believers please correct me if I am wrong. But if that's the case we cannot expect non-believers to do the right thing. I don't know if I'm making sense, but the idea is that there is that freedom of choice available and God is looking to see the choice we will choose to make obeying His Word.
We don't shrug our shoulders and talk about free will on theft, grape, embezzling, drunk driving, or molestation, but suddenly unaliving babies AND tranzing children are not my problem or ours to stop. It seems this is Democrat cope. I've seen multiple posts about free will, and it seems to be the lame excuse in the echo chamber.
@@RCGWhoAnd here you are voting for a man who has done all of that.
It's kind of funny how we get all nuanced with the conversation when it comes to politics but are straight forward with things like false prophets, adultery and idolatry. Stick to the script and all this would be much simpler. People will stay in the middle in politics in the church then wonder why many do the same things in other areas of their life. A lot of biblical illiteracy comes from all these nuanced conversations and gives the illusion that the bible isn't clear about a lot of things we want answers to.
GOD KNOWS ALL THINGS that's as straight forward as it gets we are not to stand in the way of sinners but those who have ears to hear let them hear and your eyes will begin to see God so having integrity and spreading the gospel and standing on his commandments sort of looks like the Middle but it's a firm stances of obedience to God not to the world's view and pressure of what straight forward looks like
I vote according to my beliefs and principles. Thats it thats all. If God dont approve with the foundational or major issues im voting for i dont need to vote for that person. Im not democrate or Republicans im a disciple of Jesus.
$75k biweekly changed my mindset and behavior, my goals, my family and I've to say this video has inspired me a lot!!!!❤️...
I'm feeling really motivated.
Could you share some details about the bi-weekly topic you brought up?
Yeah sounds impossible, yet with Christina Ann Tucker, I've come to the conclusion that financially anything is possible. I got my self my dream car 🚗 just last weekend and a whooping $320k in savings already, My journey with her started after my best friend came back from New York and saw me suffering in debt then told me about her and how to change my life through her. Christina A. Tucker is the kind of person one needs in his or her life! I got a home, a good wife, and a beautiful daughter. Note!:: this is not a promotion but me trying to make a point that no matter what happens, always have faith and keep living!!
Wow 😱 I know her too!
Miss Christina Ann Tucker is a remarkable individual whom has brought immense positivity and inspiration into my life.
I got started with a miserly $1500. The results have been mind blowing I must say TBH!!
Great episode 🕊️🙏🏾
Yes, as a Christian.How do you vote for somebody?That is supportive , abortion saying sex marriage stuff that goes against the lord is what i'm asking
Only man decides one sin is greater/worse than others. God called sin, sin. We technically shouldn't be prioritizing one value/cause over another 🙏🏾
Absolutely wonderful discussion!
These questions that Preston is asking...👌💯💯💯
Thank yall for this! I don’t care how many episodes but ima watch! 😂
Look at the policies and what they support. Does it model the lord's heart and will for our nation? That's your answer, sweethearts.❤
Read the bible. Who side was God on?
Exactly! They’re making it harder than what it is. It’s clear as day.
Is a candidate honoring your sin? Is a candidate asking you to ignore your sin? Is a candidate helping you to sin against God, your family, your coworkers, your neighbors?
Remember there are many candidates on our ballots beside the top two.
But at the end of it all it always comes down to the two.
I don’t want to be on a side , but I don’t want babies murdered the government isn’t the church and has responsibility to do the charity work, just like we are in North Carolina and Samaritans purse, adoption, Coach Tony Dungy, Voddie Baukum adopting as many Children as they spiritually and healthily taking care off, I read all sources
This is a good talk. Thank you guys so much for even presenting on this topic. Much clarity was given to me. One take away is thinking about the topic and thinking about the other factors and laws that contribute to that topic. Like you all mentioned on abortion. Also, another is that we don’t have to choose a side and agree with everything on that side. We should be humble and honest enough to acknowledge that _____ is wrong or _____ is right no matter what side we’re on. Thank you all and God bless you!!
The best conversation on politics n being a Christian while voting!!
Politics is important because Policy is important. Policy is important because people are important. Don't look at the personality, look at the policy. The majority of people didn't like the way Jesus spoke either, but his Policy was solid and based on the...............word of God >.
This discussion was well received… I was expecting something else but glad I actually watched the WHOLE thing …..These comments are as divided as this country so disheartening! God have mercy on our souls!
Allie Beth Stuckey and Lila Rose have videos about the abortion ban, I think it would be helpful to watch it
I relate heavily w Preston’s take. Thank yall for this
I voted early with a clear conscience. I'm not worried either way because GOD'S WILL WILL BE DONE. He is setting things up for the King of Kings to return. However, it is sad to see so many Christians being played right now thinking that one party over the other is going to hold back what's coming. It's past time for us to shine in this present darkness.
The Cristian’s that choose to not do anything reminds me of servant that buried his talents. Just choose a side that’s closer to Christian values and let God handle the rest. You not voting doesn’t solve the problem.
How any Christian could vote for a party that placed an abortion clinic outside their rally, is beyond me.
How any Christian could vote for a party that uses divisive, explicit & demeaning language towards others & wants to belittle the rights of women is beyond me as well
Who did that??
@@Shockthewrld Kamala

That was fact checked…that was a LIE
That helped me. Thank you!

That’s good!
This part!!!!! We have no say so!!! It’s crazy that we are all in an uproar about politics!!
We absolutely should vote. It's a difficult choice because one side supports what is against God, but the other side doesn't show Christian values either. Racism, no kindness to those in need, and trying to disgrace a candidate for her intimate past. Neither party aligns with Christian values.
Neither!!!! Period!
Alleged racism vs a holocaust.
So true!! I've just been reading up on their policies and track record. Things get clearer as I do that. Like he said make your list of 10 issues, pray over them and then read up on their stance/ policies.
Please include CNN along with Fox and MSNBC.
What y’all don’t understand is that both sides use Jesus as a way for their own fleshly narratives. Jesus is not this muscular white man who carries a gun and grills BBQ with a confederate hat, and Jesus is not this flower in hair hippie who regularly attends pride parades.
Despite who is in office, Jesus is the King of ALL KINGS, and He has the final say above everything. God bless you all.
Well said
couldn't agree with you more.
And Hesus cares more about the blood of innocent childrenband children being maimed by tranzing then every other pet issue.
YALL ATE 🤍
It will always be abortion for me. Just pure conviction.
Then I truly hope that you are working to adopt, provide housing and food for children and mothers. It about more than abortion because even that can be used to attract and manipulate voters.
Both parties are flawed. As a Christian there are issues on both sides that I agree and disagree with. No matter who wins the presidency, people are going to do what they want to do and there is no candidate that is going to be able to stop them from doing so. No matter how illegal things are made, people will find a way to do what they want. I am honestly against abortion but knowing that a lot of unwanted children will be brought into this world to suffer and be forgotten about is heartbreaking. You just can't say no to abortion and in the same breath say we need to get rid of government assistance. I am so torn and will continue to pray for guidance.
Adoption
I hear that. People forget that we vote every four years but looking after the poor, the widows & orphans by us-the church is an every day job not the governments.
Thank you

For me, I have to love the Lord above all else. Only 1 party is for freedom of speech and true religious freedom. If I can't speak the Truth about Jesus and the Gospel, all hope is lost. The Democratic party does NOT support true Bible believing Christians. We are being censored on social media, in the public square, etc. It's only going to get worse.
Also, I'm a nurse and I used to work in the NICU. There's a reason you can go on UA-cam and watch any MEDICAL procedure being performed - colonoscopy, heart transplant, etc. BUT you CANNOT go watch a late term ab*r*ion being performed for a reason... It's barbaric and Horrifying. I could NEVER vote for someone who can support full term babies being injected and dism**bered and treated worse than any other living human being. I truly believe if we had access to see this "procedure" being done, we could never sign our name next to it 😭
I would like your post 10000 times, respect
So you've watched this happen 😮
I would like to understand your depiction of religious freedom.
My understanding means freedom for all religions yet we have witness within this election cycle how other religions have been/ would possibly be persecuted in the future, does their religious freedoms not matter?
@@d.wall98 religious freedom is imperative, and government should stay out of it, murder is murder in any religion, sexualizing children is always wrong in any religion
What if wombs had windows?
I pray about who I should vote for with early National election and in 2020, I clearly heard the Holy Spirit tell me to vote policy and not personality, to do my research.
I literally did my research and one party is clearly trying to remove God from their platform. They clearly states it in their Policy Manual. I read Policy Manual for both major parties. It was eye opening!
God has never told me directly who to vote for, but He will give you guidance and that guidance should align with His Word.

Being engaged doesn't mean you automatically have to pick between blue and red.
Consider that a good leader is a representative of the people (who are legal citizens and pay taxes) they serve. That does not mean the leader agrees with the decisions that individuals make. They simply are responsible for guarding their right to make their own decisions.
When I vote for a candidate, I may not agree with everything they intend to do but, I make a decision based on the candidate’s resolve to see ALL Americans.
Jackie's wailing killing me 😂 love her
Hey Jackie. Sorry you’re not feeling well. I struggle with allergies and sinus issues. Different things works for different people but I’ve suggested this to there and they said it works for them too so I’ll share it with you too. Try Claritin D-12 or D-24. It helps me with congestion.

Great episode
I had my ears wide open in 2015 to the critiques of many who called out the pass given to Western Christians who were complicit and even involved in the racial woes of America over the last 400 years. However, as time has passed, I've found that many of these same voices sound really soft on child sacrifice (over 60 million). I hope that they will employ some equal weights and measures. It's hard to be bold when you are not threatened, and social capital is on the line, but it ain't impossible.

I don't understand some of the comments. Do yal do this with EVERY decision you have to make? Do you judge the fruits of your Tax Preparer or does them getting the job done correctly only matters?😅
Your tax payer doesn’t apply discretion in their job, and the impact of their actions is limited. They are governed by professional body’s and regulation. If they get it wrong there is professional/ civil and criminal recourse. When you are voting in a government, they make the rules. There is no recourse if they mess that up. Who are you going to go to? Their fruits matter, absolutely.
@@MsMak03Each branch of the government is limited.
@@JJ-it9vr more to the point is that the sphere of impact and influence of a government is way more than a tax practitioner or a nail tech
This land is diverse, a candidate that embraces everyone is what is necessary versus someone that wants to divide everyone. Abortion is healthcare as well, it’s not the best option but sometimes it’s necessary to save a women’s life. Which candidate is better for ALL? Vote for freedom. Do your research. You decide.
Vote NO on tranzing children. Choose life. Abortion is not Healthcare. Find a Crisis Pregnancy Center and support it.
That embraces the porn industry, Hollywood, trafficking on the border, unaliving babies, tranzing children.
Sounds legit.
That sound beautiful. I worry a bit though because the way democracy works is majority rules. We follow a "narrow path" with a gospel that "stinks" or is offensive to unbelievers. There are many who say they're for "all" but they really mean all except us, because they know we'll never say "all" ways lead to God. I worry that in attempting to join them on behalf of "all" may speed up our own persecution. It was from a Biblical perspective that freedom of religion was set up in the first place. I'm starting to lean to the side that sides with believers to protect that freedom for all. If any of that makes sense lol.
Thank you for this. I hate this time of year. I have people who are good people who go opposite political parties. We really need to talk to people instead of assuming positions & that we know their heart. Both choices are not ideal for Christians & everyone is not evil. God said in Ezekiel that He searched for someone to stand in the Gap & found no one. He sent Himself. We should be able to stand in the gap as the lights of the world. I'm so glad this election is almost over.
This is such a weighty topic because of how sensitive everyone is. Anyone who leans hard either way (the right or the left) is in the wrong but if we’re level headed and being completely honest, one side does align better for a Christian. . Both parties have issues but Weigh the pros and cons .. & like this man said list your top 10 policies and see who lines up more.. it’s probably trump .. be honest with yourself
I love the Perry’s and all their guest and I also believe we have to be very clear about what we stand for and there are so many things that the Harris/Walz party promote that we simply can not vote in favor of. Our Christian community perishes for lack of knowledge 😢. I think Pastor Josh Howerton explained it so well: ua-cam.com/video/SitsLDo6X_Y/v-deo.htmlsi=viC1zYGLU6Jxcmx2
politics or no politics...as long as we're repenting and obeying God...we're good. What must happen will happen.
Great point
I was expecting this to be whack, but this was great.
Can I ask why?
I thought he was trying to come off conservative, but nah.
@@TheNial120 1) Because I don't expect black Christians to have honest and nuanced conversations about politics publically. 2) I also expected a heavy dose of "but what about..." The podcast is always good but I was skeptical about this episode.
Both sides got me messed up, I will be writing in Jesus on my ballot. 😭
There has never been a candidate that I can say aligns with all issues that is important to me but I look for the candidate that has the issues that align with myself as well as my community needs. Policies and character matters to me. There are some policies I don’t agree with as a Christian but I also see how the candidate’s moral standards and character align with God’s character. Integrity matters to me and how I reconcile voting for MVP is that as a Christian I don’t have a right to force my beliefs onto anyone. I read the Bible and Jesus showed us how to go out and conduct ourselves and make disciples, we were given the free will to decide. God desires relationship with us, he wants us to choose him but nowhere in the Bible does it say God makes us be in covenant with him. I believe people who do make choices to go against God’s command to kill or operate in immorality his word is clear there will be consequences but we as Christians are not called to judge or to try to control other people which is what trump is running on and he is a convicted felon. Would you trust a man with sexual misconduct charges around your family and spews hate speech. He is not a Christian. He said so over a month ago at a Christian event. You can google it. He is selling the word of God with the Constitution in it. There are layers to the abortion ban that will role back reproductive healthcare for women. IVF funding was voted down in Congress in September by the Republican Party. How many women do you know where able to give birth because of IVF. It’s deeper than oh a woman had sex and now doesn’t want the baby no this also impacts Mom’s who want the baby but complications from the pregnancy require abortion procedures that impacts her health be necessary. People have already started dying from this ban. How can you have an abortion ban and want to cut funding for government programs to help parents to be able to afford to feed and support these children. We are talking about the same party Trump is running on. If we are voting for him to save the babies lives how about banning assault weapons and making background checks. I didn’t grow up having to do active shooter.
I’ve heard the most hateful rhetoric from trump supporters. So to people who still say you support a compulsive liar I mean every day and I listen to his rallies as much as I can take to hear it for myself, what commandment hasn’t he broken. I’ve never seen idol worship like this in my lifetime. I want to know what characteristics that trump has that relates to your character? I’ll go first. I can relate to her empathy and compassion for people. Her uplifting and encouraging words of hope. She is strong and focused and she is very smart and experienced. She doesn’t bully people and she intends to be a president for all Americans not one party. I could say more but all of us have to vote our conviction. God knows our hearts and will judge our motives. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
was she compassionate when she kicked the person out of her rally who said Jesus is Lord?
Allie Beth Stuckey and Lila Rose have videos about the abortion ban, I think it would be helpful to watch it.
@olumbafamilyfaith9396 you really ignored every factual criticism of him to call out her removing a protestor from her rally? Talk about throwing away your brain to follow a cult leader.
@@olumbafamilyfaith9396was he compassionate when he separated children from parents at the border traumatizing them. Calling people names. Just because someone says Jesus is Lord doesn’t mean they have a relationship with God. By the way there are people who call themselves Christians. Jesus Christ is not a racist. You don’t interrupt someone speaking at a rally. God is a God order. God bless. I have relationship with God. I hope you will get to know him too. Facts matter. There is no justification in your reply for voting for trump. God bless.
The worship of Obama was and is off the charts.
What makes you think you get an opinion on what a woman or girl who was violated by a man does with the seed that was planted inside of her against her will? I seriously want to know why, in y’all’s opinion, a little girl should be forced to carry and deliver a baby when that would literally destroy her body? Why should a child be forced to carry and deliver a seed planted inside of her by her own father? Her own family member? Imagine that child’s life, its mother and father are daughter and father. Do you really believe that God wants that kind of family dynamic for his children? Please explain this.
Trump supports exceptions, go do your research and stop listening to democrats stroke fear
@@Bornclutch62your comment has nothing to do with anything I said. I never mentioned Trump or Kamala. I think YOU should go do your research somewhere other than Tik Tok. 10 of the 21 states with an abortion ban do not have an exception for incest or rape. The ones that do have the exception for rape and incest require proof of law enforcement involvement in order to grant the abortion, and there is gestational time restrictions on top of that. CHILDREN who are raped often do not report to a family member or friend, let alone law enforcement. This is true for many women who have been raped as well. There are MANY reasons why women and young girls do not report a rape.
Many women have carried the child made in the image of God because the child is a victim as well. Some women have raised them. Some have adopted. A secondary trauma is not healing for the woman or the child.
@@RCGWho you are speaking on several different testimonies that are not your own. Whose testimonies are those? Or did you make them up to prove your point..?
@@MsandreayvonneIs the father in the childs life?
It’s funny how we as black folks have so many reservations when it comes to voting. Countless black men and women fought and died so that we can vote. During those times the main agenda was having the same rights of others. Being afforded the same opportunities. Well, their fight worked to a certain degree, we are better now than what we were then, even though we still have to deal with so much more. It is My opinion that those opportunities are being challenged. It is our generations job to insure that we do not loose them.
This is not about religion. Can we find something in the Bible to make it about religion or our faith? Of course we can.
I believe this is about our everyday lives and the lives of our children/grandchildren. Vote!
The lives of our children and grandchildren: protect them from being unalived or tranzed. Start there.
EVERY single person who is against abortion has never been raped by a man and forced to then carry that child, deliver that child, and care for that child for the rest of its life. There’s not a single woman or girl in the world who has experienced a rape or incest and carried the child, delivered the child and cared for the child for the entirety of its life and is against abortion. What makes you think you get an opinion on what a woman or girl who was violated by a man does with the seed that was planted inside of her against her will? I seriously want to know why a little girl should be forced to carry and deliver a baby when that would literally destroy her body? Why should a child be forced to carry and deliver a seed planted inside of her by her own father? Her own family member? Imagine that child’s life, its mother and father are daughter and father.

God doesn’t force anyone to do anything. No one should be forced to do anything. Being a believer in God through Christ is voluntary. Rape and incest are very traumatic experiences and God knows how traumatic it is for a woman to go through something like that. God knows what we feel and what we go through because he felt our infirmities enduring the cross but without sin. He knows what it’s like to be human through Christ Jesus. It’s a blessing he gives us free will and the ability to obtain wisdom on what is best in those situations through his word. God knows each human being personally, even those individuals who are a result of rape or incest. He loves them like he loves any other child born out of a sinful experience. Ultimately I think it is best for a woman who has experienced that to consult and seek what God wants and ask Him to guide her in that situation on what decision she should make and it be between her and God. I know that God knows every person he allows to be born into this earth ,regardless of how they’re born, he knows them before they’re ever conceived in the womb and he has a specific purpose for every one he allows to enter this earth through the womb of a woman. It’s a good purpose too. Pain is a part of life because of sin but God uses the pain we experience for good and our well being. God’s intentions are always pure and always good. Being a Christian means believing that God is good no matter what suffering we go through and trusting that he is good and will work things out for his good pleasure as there is no sin in Him. Being a Christian is a suffering way ( trusting God when thing’s don’t make sense to us or is painful to endure) but the suffering we experience on this earth is nothing compared to the glory which shall be revealed in us in eternity. God knows best and God will sustain and guide any woman through something so traumatic because he loves women. Women are God’s idea not man’s.
False. Brave women have and do carry these children to term. Some raise them. Some adopt. Abortion is trauma.
Why do you think that an abortion is a harmless operation?!! They come with lifelong side effects for so many women such as not ever being able to get pregnant again! Abortions are painful and traumatic on so many levels. Does that baby need to pay with it's life for the sin of it's father?! How about those who have had abortions and regret that choice the rest of their life? How about placing the baby into adoption? I have so many family members that are adopted that are wonderful people. Two of my friends had appointments to be aborted as babies and their moms changed their minds at the last moment. One of those friends started and organization that has helped tens of thousands of people. Shame on you for trying to justify abortion, it only brings death and destruction.
After truly thinking about this, I come to this conclusion. I believe that God wants every human to have autonomy, to have the right to choose to be in relationship with him. The side of Republican tends to of course, highlight the beauty that is within Christ, however it can be deemed as forcing others to believe. The one thing that I can respect about the Democratic side is that despite their efforts towards pushing certain agendas, it does highlight the right to choose. God has never been a forceful God, he has never tried to force his way into people’s lives. He is all about choosing to open the door, God is always there, but you must choose to let him in. You have to choose to let him be your ruler and to be in a relationship with him. The only side that actually allows you to choose and not have a dictatorship is the Democratic side. If we claim to be Christians and we claim to respect the way the Lord has created us. How can we allow for our friends our neighbors to not have choice. We are supposed to represent freedom, happiness the ability to choose what path we want. It is not our role to judge our neighbor. It is for God to judge. God has allowed all of us to be able to choose him, and I think he wants us to continue to have that right. We cannot oppose our views on other people and judge and condemn others that is un-Christian. We focus so much on what someone else’s sin looks like, are we actually looking in the mirror? Are you truly living as a Christian, or just playing one? Cherry picking issues is part of the problem. This is why so many people don’t take Christian’s serious. You claim to know Christ but are racist, prejudice, support not taking care of the poor, dismissive to the value of life, believe that “illegals” are coming here wrong when this country is full of illegals if you are not full blown Native Americans. Look at you and stop pointing fingers. You’ll be more like Christ when you actually think that way.
I'm not so sure that's Christlike. Christ came to save us from sin & *ourselves*. He was able to do that because he fulfilled the law, not abolished it. The God we serve is the same one who made the 10 commandments- for our good. He doesn't force us to follow Him, but the other option is very clear- our own destruction & demise under our own misguided rule. It's an act of love and protection to establish rule and order. Our sinful, rebellious hearts may resist it or even walk away. That's where grace comes in- to forgive us, welcome us back with a soft place to land, when weary and broken. That's where the church steps in too- to look after the poor, the widows and the orphans etc.
There's a necessary duality to our role. 1- to use our vote to stand with the Lord for what's Bibilically in alignment with Him and 2- to extend grace & help to those in need, including those who have chosen to go their own way to their own peril & now need help.
Choice comes second. Truth comes first. Freedom only exists with boundaries, otherwise it's pure anarchy.
@gracieanderson I got censored.
Another woman replied and shared her grape story of carrying her child and keeping it. There are many others, but Google suppresses these stories that are not the approved narrative.

When abortion is talked about in Christian communities aren’t being genuine either. It is as if you’re only talking about women who abort their babies because of inconvenience. Of course that is wrong. But remember because the abortion laws are not making exceptions for babies that die in the womb that not viable and put the mother’s life in danger.
This only applies to ectopic pregnancy and usually then the baby has died by the time you rupture.
This will always be treated. It is a lie that women are turned away when they are hemorrhaging.
You got to back up trump not respecting people what example
Trump 1 doesn’t have an issue with immigrants if you come here the right way
Fentanyl, sex trafficking, and gangs are all coming over the border.
Did Joseph and Mary go hide with Jesus the right way when they had to hide him for safety?
That's not what he says. He regularly lumps all immigrants into his hateful conversations! How you can defend someone of such love morals will forever blow my mind. You may not like the other side but there is no defending him.
@Lodeenie He does not hate all immigrants. Nor is he racist. It's mainstream media lies that people have believed. Do you know one of the only powers and responsibilities of the president in the constitution is defending the borders? The irony. It's the only thing they neglect to do.
@@ClarkFan662Was there a right way in ancient Egypt at that time? 😂😂 But he did say "render unto Cesar what is Cesar's" and paid his taxes via a miracle with a fish, so I'm pretty sure he's all for being a law-abiding citizen annnd the God of the Old Testament made it law to care for immigrants and refugees... and he supported the logic of defending borders like Nehemiah's wall as well. Both. And.
How as a christian can you vote Democrat? Their whole platform right now is probably choice, so that's hard pass...
I love this conversation but when it comes to actually voting being in the middle doesn’t help. You have to make a choice. Kamala saying “you’re at the wrong rally ” when someone said “Jesus is King” is pretty huge as a Christian
That isn't what happened
@@vondahenry1689 what happened?

she literally did that. i was in disbelief.
Excellent!
People still acting like Trump is god blows my mind …smh
Obama is god to the left.
I'm must not be understanding something because I hear you saying you are pro life and drag queen stuff makes you angry, yet I also hear you say you can vote Democrat which means that if voted in Kamala will fight to make abortions legal until birth. So... how are you or a Christian Democrat making a difference for the unborn and standing for Biblical values?
So much cope on unaliving babies and tranzing children.
👏🏻
God forbid, if your sister was rap3d and became pregnant as a result. She wants an abortion. Would you support her or discourage her?
@Meggawoman I would show her there are other ways. It's not the babies fault for that situation. We don't need to choose murder just because of a bad situation. God has a plan for that child and there are many families that would love to adopt the child. God can redeem the situation, but a child doesn't have to die.
@@christinamalan482 I am angry because I wrote a comment and it deleted so I'm just going to keep it simple I agree you can't fix sin with more sin or sin because of sin and just because it's legal doesn't mean I have to partake in it and it's God's choice not ours we are not our own we belong to him we are his creation and his rules have to be obeyed and life is created and we have no rights to end it
