In our Faith and Politics series on the Ephesiology Podcast, we explore the complex relationship between Jesus’ mission for the church and the Christian’s involvement in politics. Through thoughtful discussions and interviews with professors, pastors, and missionaries, the series addresses the role of Christians in the public square, how the early church navigated political tensions, and what lessons we can apply today in advancing the gospel while engaging in civic life. Whether you’re a church leader or a believer seeking to understand the political climate from a missiological perspective, the Ephesiology Podcast series on Faith and Politics provides biblical insights and practical guidance for living out faith in today’s world.
