Christ and politics
Shawn, genuine question I’d really value your thoughts on:
You’ve often said you’re not political, and that your focus is firmly on following Yeshua rather than earthly systems. I respect that deeply. I’m trying to understand whether you see that as a personal calling, or whether you believe followers of Christ in general should avoid political and civic engagement.
My question is specifically about calling. Do you believe there are some Followers of Christ who may be genuinely called to engage publicly, through politics, advocacy, or leadership, to challenge moral issues and protect people, while others are called to focus solely on proclamation and discipleship? Or do you see political engagement itself as crossing a line for followers of Yeshua?
I’m not asking about coercion or force, but about persuasion, conscience, and public witness. I’d really appreciate your perspective on where you believe that line is, if there is one.
