The Biblical Case for Political Engagement | Lance English

VideoAugust 10, 2026
Video description

Politics matters. But politics cannot save the world. Christians are called to seek justice, love their neighbors, and faithfully steward the communities God has entrusted to them. At the same time, Scripture reminds us that no election, political party, or government can accomplish what only the gospel can do. In this episode, we explore a biblical vision for politics rooted in creation, stewardship, and the coming Kingdom of Christ. Lance English will discuss: • Why Christians should care about politics • The difference between stewardship and salvation • The cultural mandate and the Great Commission • Why politics cannot redeem humanity • Building healthy families, churches, and institutions • Thinking beyond our own generation • Ordinary faithfulness that transforms culture • Why our ultimate hope is Christ's Kingdom Our hope is never found in politics. Our hope is found in King Jesus, whose Kingdom cannot be shaken.
