takeaways

The current political and cultural moment in the United States is characterized by the erosion of trust in democracy and the weaponization of fear and anger.
Apocalyptic language is used in political discourse to create a sense of urgency and to rally support, but it often hinders productive conversations and solutions.
Economic realities, such as rising prices and income inequality, are often blamed on political leaders, but the underlying problems are complex and require systemic changes.
The current economic system is profit-centered, prioritizing growth and wealth accumulation over human flourishing. This has led to the exploitation of resources and the neglect of social services.
Building a more egalitarian and pluralistic society requires a shift in values, prioritizing love, faith, and truth over domination, coercion, and control. Evaluate economic policies based on their impact on real people's lives
Pastors can address political issues from the pulpit while maintaining the separation of church and state
Being politically engaged is a responsibility as a Christian
Take care of yourself and pay attention to your body's response to fear and anxiety
Hold onto truth and challenge misinformation
Be open to change and willing to repent
