Jesus is God Over Your Politics


You ever try to talk politics without starting a fight? Yeah, me too. This week on the Salty Saints Podcast, Randy and I take a deep dive into one of the most off-limits dinner table topics—politics. But here's the twist: we’re not here to campaign for a side. We’re here to ask a much bigger question—what does it look like to let Jesus shape your political views instead of the other way around?
We explore how compartmentalizing our faith is hurting our witness, why Jesus doesn’t play for either team, and what it actually means to say “Christ is King” in a world of kings, presidents, and power grabs. We’ll get into Scripture, tell a few stories (some funny, some sobering), and maybe—just maybe—challenge you to open up that locked “politics room” in your heart and invite Jesus in.
Warning: This episode may cause you to rethink your bumper stickers.
