CAN WE LEAN INTO THE ISSUES AND LOVE WELL? How should disciples of Jesus navigate a society clawing itself apart through politics? Should we disengage? Pick a side? Offer slogans which sound nice but express little? Insist that true Christians vote in such-and-such a way? Pursue tranquility by making contentious topics off-limits for church? Following Jesus in a Politically Divided World suggests that disciples of Jesus navigate a politically divided world . . . by being disciples of Jesus. Jesus models the character and provides the tools we need to live as perceptive and peaceable in volatile times. Whittaker and McCoy invite you to answer 21 questions, including: * What is the purpose of government? * Do you know the times you're living in? * What hills are worth dying on? * How do you pray for your nation? * How do you figure out what's right and wrong as a Christian? * What does Christianity teach about the bedroom, womb, deathbed, environment, and battlefield? Together, let's face stormy horizons the way Jesus showed us: fully awake, yet filled with peace. As someone entrusted with overseeing a local congregation, I would be thrilled to see this resource in the hands of my members. -Jaron Scott, Lead Pastor, Christ's Church of Joplin; professor of organizational leadership, Ozark Christian College I'm encouraged to have this resource to help guide me and those I disciple in this politically charged culture. -Michelle Eagle, Discipleship and Women's Minister, Harpeth Christian Church There are plenty of voices in our culture telling us what to think. Instead, Daniel and John usher readers to many of the ethical crossroads of our day, offering a framework so that we may personally build biblical convictions as disciples of Jesus. -Jason Ishmael, Lead Pastor, Antioch Christian Church JOHN WHITTAKER (DMin, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary) is a Bible teacher whose goal is to provide "blue jeans theology-theology for everyday life.
