Politicked : El Woke-o

In his message on politics, Pastor Ed Young explains that politics, like religion, plays a major role in shaping how we see and engage with the world around us. While discussions about politics can often feel divisive, politics is all about influencing decisions that impact people’s lives. Jesus’ message, though inclusive, is also challenging because it calls for truth, which can cause some tension. As believers, we can't separate our faith from our public lives—our relationship with Christ should guide how we act in every area. Pastor Ed encourages us to adopt a God-centered worldview where our identity, thoughts, and actions reflect Christ. In a world filled with shifting ideologies, he reminds us that true freedom comes from holding to God’s truth, aligning our lives with Him, and making a real difference by glorifying God in everything we do.
