How should Christians vote when none of the candidates embodies a Christian ethic? What is the difference between patriotism and Christian nationalism? Where is God when we pray on behalf of a loved one’s mental health yet they still die by suicide? These are some of the questions that Russell Moore answers on this post–Election Day episode of The Russell Moore Show. Tune in for responses to questions such as:
- What’s the process by which Christians should decide how to cast their ballots?
- What is the definition of Christian nationalism, and what does it look like to respond to it?
- How do we keep praying when it seems like God didn’t hear us crying out over something as heartbreaking as a loved one’s mental health and eventual suicide?
- How can we forgive someone when we don’t understand how they could do what they did, or when there is no possibility of earthly reconciliation?
