No political party is Christian.
How to Be a Disciple in a Politically Divided World
This isn't a book about which side to pick. It's about how to follow Jesus faithfully when everyone around you has picked a side.
Jesus did not come to make Christians better Republicans or better Democrats. He came to make us disciples.
Coming March 2028
Before you get mad at me
I'm not saying Christians shouldn't care about politics.
We should.
- Justice
- Life
- Poverty
- Family
- Immigration
- Sexuality
- Religious freedom
- The vulnerable
Because Jesus is Lord over all of life.
The big ideas
What this book is about.
- 01
Neither party perfectly represents the Kingdom of God.
Every political tribe gets some things right and some things wrong. The Kingdom is bigger than both.
- 02
Disciples, not partisans.
In the same group of twelve, Jesus called Matthew, a tax collector who worked for Rome, and Simon, a zealot who wanted Rome overthrown.
Matthew 10:3–4
- 03
Scripture shapes our politics, never the other way around.
Our political convictions should be shaped by Scripture. Scripture should never be reshaped by our political convictions.
- 04
Who is discipling you?
If you can criticize everything wrong with the other side but never confront the sin, idolatry or injustice on your own side, politics may be discipling you more than Jesus is.
- 05
Ambassadors for Christ, not for a party.
What if your allegiance to a political party is the very thing pushing someone away from Jesus?
2 Corinthians 5:20
The Scripture
What the Bible actually says.
Christians have always lived as citizens of two kingdoms. These passages shape how this book thinks about faith and politics.
Matthew 22:21
Give to Caesar, give to God
Jesus honored earthly authority while reminding us who we ultimately belong to.
John 18:36
A Kingdom not of this world
Jesus' Kingdom doesn't advance the way political power does.
Matthew 10:3–4
Matthew and Simon
A tax collector for Rome and a zealot against it, at the same table, following the same Jesus.
Philippians 3:20
Citizens of heaven
Our first citizenship is in heaven, and it shapes how we live in every nation.
Jeremiah 29:7
Seek the good of the city
God's people are called to work for the flourishing of the places we live.
2 Corinthians 5:20
Ambassadors for Christ
We represent a King, not a party.
Jesus is Lord over all of life.
Your voice
Help shape this book.
I'm writing this for you. What's the hardest part of following Jesus in a politically divided world?
You can vote. You can have strong convictions. You can disagree.
But your ultimate allegiance doesn't belong to a party.
Jesus is King.
The author
I've been a pastor long enough to watch politics split families, friendships and churches. This book is for Christians who are tired of being told their faith belongs to a party, and who want to follow Jesus faithfully in a divided world. This book is about how to be a disciple of Jesus in a politically divided world.
