if you’ve ever asked yourself as a Christian how do I respond when fill in the blank then today’s episode is for you sometimes on therapy and theology we answer only one question but other times we’ll cover several and today is one of those days because we’re moving quickly through these questions don’t forget to download the free listener guide my team put together using the link in the show notes okay are you ready let’s dive into today’s content as a Christian how do I resp respond when my family or friend
group is split politically my short answer announced right here Lisa turkers for president well I mean hey is there anything else okay that one came out of the blue shocked all of us on that one well speaking of shock let’s go that I mean that was me my attempt to be funny are we really shocked anymore about the culture and the environment so how I no matter what the question is it’s a mess out there right now America is in what I call that trauma limic braid and limic responses of fight flatter or freeze seemingly mainly fight so to really
really acknowledge where in essence the culture is including maybe just our friends or family can be like it’s this is not where it used to be even 20 30 years ago it’s a very volatile playing field right now that’s for me to acknowledge this is really I think unprecedented times yeah I I think we need a guide so we need a guide to help us it’s topic I’ve been studying for the last two and a half years and y’all are going to be like Joel for real is this what you’re going to say and I’m going to say it and I’m going to try to defend
it just a little bit uh we need humility we desperately need humility in this conversation humility is a protection a prevention and a preservation humility protects us from thinking too low of ourselves it prevents us from thinking too high of ourselves and it preserves Us in the Life of Christ so when we apply humility to the conversation of politics and disagreement what humility I think is going to allow us to do is to have um this deep sense of confidence in our conviction compassion in the way that we communicate and above
