Giving Up Politics for Lent

How might we be tempted to over-identify with our politics in unsettling times? On the second Sunday of Easter, Nic Acosta fasts from being “that guy” in regards to seeing everything solely through a political identity and challenges us to question how a purity psychology of politics might subtly supplant our love for Christ and neighbor.  [John 12:1-8]

 

Reflection

• Has purity thinking affected how I relate to other with different political views?
• What are some ways I can practice detaching my sense of self from my political views?
• How can I lean into Christ as the true source of my identity?
