Can Faith and Politics Coexist?

Welcome to the Together 4 Good podcast!

In this week’s episode, Pastor Nate dives into the complicated intersection of religion and politics and why we need to talk about both. While these topics are often labeled “too divisive” for polite conversation, Nate offers a different vision—one grounded in humility, compassion, and the Gospel message.

He explores how faith informs our values and civic life, how churches can speak into political issues without endorsing candidates, and what it means to be a people guided first by Christ and not by party lines.

What you’ll learn in this episode:

• Why religion and politics feel so personal and polarizing

• How Jesus was deeply political without being partisan

• A faithful way to approach civic life rooted in love and humility

• The role of church in a divided culture

• Why conversations (not silence) are crucial for spiritual growth
