SUMMARY:

This week we want to talk about politics. Specifically, we want to talk about whether or not politics is an important issue for Christians to think about and participate in. We also want to talk about the specific issue of Abortion. We will discuss the difference between being pro-life and anti-abortion.

GUEST INFORMATION:

James is a contributor to The Federalist and was a staff writer for The Resurgent. He is from Gig Harbor, WA and has lived in Norman, OK for the last three years.

QUESTIONS THIS EPISODE ASKS:

Here are the questions that we asked Kevin in this episode:

• What is a Christian view of politics and the process of making policy?
  
  
  
  • What is politics/the political process?
  
  
  • How should Christians be involved in politics/the political process?
  
  
  
  


• When it comes to christians and churches getting involved in politics the biggest push back I hear is “how much time, money and energy should we commit to it?”.  Some might even mean “waste” instead of commit.  How do you answer that question?
  
  
  
  • The political process doesn’t save anyone, so why should we spend time on it?
  
  
  
  


• Is the abortion issue the most important political issue of our time? Why or why not?


• What is the difference between the pro-life position and being an abortion abolitionist?
  
  
  
  • Is incrementalism here bad? (If so, why?)
  
  
  
  


• What kind of resistance has the abolition movement met from the pro-life movement?


• What are some practical things that Christians can do to help abolish abortion in America?
