Mon Jan 12 2026
Candid debate between Christians: is it okay for Christians to vote Democrat? If you value this kind of content (faith, politics, and culture) — subscribe for more.
This is a respectful debate between believers, but does get very pointed (as it should). It centers on life of unborn, free will, and whether there are moral red lines that should disqualify a political party from a Christian’s support.
I argue that certain issues, especially the sanctity of life, are non-negotiable for Christians ... and the modern Democrat platform / agenda has crossed the line. Pat pushes back by emphasizing personal conscience, complexity, and the limits of enforcing moral beliefs while arguing the Democrat agenda has pros that outweigh the cons.
This episode is about clarifying convictions, exposing assumptions, and asking what faithfulness to Christ looks like in a divided culture.
