Should Christians Vote? 5 Biblical Reasons to Participate | Family Goals

David Pollack and Pastor J discuss faith, politics, and voting. Should Christians get involved in politics—and how can we stay engaged without putting our hope in a political party or politician?

They explore five biblical reasons Christians should vote, including being salt and light, standing for what is right, seeking the welfare of our communities, understanding government’s role, and caring about the world we leave our children.

David and Pastor J also discuss how to evaluate candidates through character, leadership, experience, and biblical values. They close with a challenge for Christians to stay involved, stand firm in their convictions, trust God regardless of election outcomes, and protect their Christian witness when engaging in political conversations.
