Ep. 3 / Following Jesus at the Ballot Box ► Tim Alberta

evangelical 360°

Tim Alberta, author of "The Kingdom, the Power, and the Glory: American Evangelicals in an Age of Extremism," joins us to explore the complex relationship between American evangelicalism and right-wing politics. Raised in an Evangelical Presbyterian Church where his father served as a pastor, Alberta offers a deeply personal perspective on how these religious communities have evolved, particularly under the influence of Donald Trump. His poignant recollections, including those from his father's funeral, illuminate the troubling shifts within the evangelical community and raise critical questions about how faith and politics have become increasingly intertwined.
Together, we examine the rise of Christian nationalism and its profound impact on faith and civic responsibility. We challenge the binary choices often presented by the American electoral system, encouraging Christians to vote in a way that truly glorifies God rather than succumbing to political panic. Our conversation extends beyond U.S. borders, offering guidance to young Christians worldwide to remain steadfast in their faith amid political or cultural oppression. This episode emphasizes the importance of serving God's kingdom, distinct from any earthly nation, and aims to inspire and challenge Christians navigating these turbulent times.
