Lighting the Way Today

“We have to remember that we are all ambassadors for Christ, not a political party, not an agenda.” In part two of this two-part episode, Jennifer Clesi continues the conversation with Rev. Bryan Mittler and Rev. Michael De Quattro, in which they discuss more ways that God’s love can cross political divides. This episode further expounds on the believer’s role in political environments. Topics include remembering who we represent as ambassadors for Christ, focusing on the benefit and outcome of a conversation rather than proving we’re right, and knowing when to stay in a conversation and when to walk away. Bryan and Michael also share more insightful personal accounts about when they’ve seen God’s love bring unity to potentially heated political situations. If you enjoyed part one of this episode, get ready for more fantastic truths from God’s Word in part two that can help you bring unity when division threatens to take hold.

“We’re above the methods and the tactics that the adversary uses to put us on sides. When it comes to living life, we’re all in this together.” In part one of this two-part episode, Jennifer Clesi interviews Rev. Bryan Mittler and Rev. Michael De Quattro on how God’s love effectively bridges political division between people. In today’s culture, political tension can be especially strong, yet even in heated environments, God’s love can make an impact and bring people up to the higher level of unity on His Word. Bryan and Michael break down this concept and show Biblical examples of people who navigated political situations to give others the Word. They also discuss helpful Scriptures that give us the tools we need when working with people, such as being swift to hear and slow to speak (James 1:19). With God as our sufficiency in life, we can look past political divides and give people what they really need—the love of God.

“We have to approach witnessing with love and no other motive. We’re not there to get anything from anyone. We just want to go out there with an attitude of giving and with love and with the goal of being ambassadors and reconciling people back to God.” In this episode, Taylor Thurlow interviews Rev. Basil Makharita about sharing God’s Word with people of different belief systems than Christianity. Basil, who grew up Muslim, tells his personal account of getting to know God, and the man who took the time to answer his questions and walk him through the Scriptures. He also gives important insight into what approaches were edifying to him, and which ones were not, as Christians spoke God’s Word to him over the years. And he shares things we should keep in mind when we speak God’s Word specifically to people of different religions. Through genuine love, care, and humility, someone showed Basil God’s nature.

“In our walk as ambassadors for Christ, we’re always on the lookout to make sure we are putting truth on in our mind and exposing ourselves to that....Over time, that exposure to things that the adversary might be throwing [at us] can wear us down. So, we do want to step away from that.” In this episode, Lauren Schiano interviews Aaron Morphy about having integrity online, especially on social media, including ways we can speak the truth of God’s Word in love on these platforms. Aaron, who has a master’s degree in cybersecurity, gives unique insight into topics like internet safety, ideas for sharing God’s Word online, consideration for others online, and ways to combat sensationalism and polarizing content.
