Kingdom of God
In this week’s episode, Hannah and Aaron sit down with our College Director, Andrew Overmiller, to discuss our series titled “Kingdom of God” going over politics and voting as believers. Be sure to listen to the full sermon here.
- Sermon recap
- I don’t know about you guys, but I often find peace once the decision is made but the journey leading to that decision feels often times really stressful. I just want to make sure I’m making the right choice and thinking through things properly so how do both of you find peace in the decision-making process – whether that’s big or small decisions?
- Aaron, it was so good when you said “we’re not just a citizen in the kingdom of God we’re also a part of the leadership structure”. How often we forget the privilege that this is! When you said less than 50% of Christians are registered voters, that feels like a slap in the face to the opportunity God has given us. When did both of you realize that voting was important? How do we convince people we love that it’s so important to be involved?
- “We must care about the character of our leaders”. When you initially said this, my first thought was “okay well I don’t know how to do this”. Then when I was listening to the sermon, it unfortunately cut off when you were talking about local ballots. So first, what was the local issue we should care about? Second, how do we filter through media perception of character? Do you guys have places you get your news or things that feel helpful when it comes to distinguishing character?
