My hour-long conversation with author and political strategist Michael Wear has been edited to highlight Michael's timely takeaways on Christianity, politics and surviving 2024.
This mediated by community is a really helpful idea. The options are given to us and then we need to weight variables and decide on a less than perfect option. Democracy is intentionally a slow process filled with compromises. A person could really dislike the US giving military aid to country XYZ but that shortcoming is outweighed by say a desire to expand health care....just a random example. The options are pre-choosen. Then, after that.....we vote. Very helpful.

You got it, Brad! Always glad to know I'm communicating somewhat clearly!
