Episode 35 - Politics

In this episode, we begin the conversation on politics and how Christians should approach politics in the US considering how Jesus handled the politics of His day.  We discuss how Christians view politics today and how it seems that sometime our weight is put into voting in a savior.  How should we approach politics as Christians?
