But does this mean that faith should have no place in conversations about politics that affect our lives?

In this episode, we will explore the relationship between faith and politics and what the religious teachings say about them. We’ll also unpack the healthy tension between the two and shed clarity on how the religious texts are neither entirely apolitical nor simply political. Most importantly, we'll explore how our faith can shape the way we understand justice, leadership, compassion, and the common good

Because while everything is political, we shouldn't allow it divide us or turn our faith into a political weapon. Both can coexist, but neither should make our differences outweigh our shared humanity.
