Pastoring in Partisan Times Podcast
Have you listened to the Pastoring in Partisan Times Podcast? This podcast seeks to gain insight into pastoring purple in red and blue churches. Every episode offers insights and practical tips for navigating tensions and modeling new ways of remaining in relationship with those we disagree with. For each episode, we’ve created a listening guide for pastors to utilize and weekly activities for anyone to put what they’ve learned into practice. Episodes drop weekly on Fridays.

Although congregations are prohibited from endorsing candidates or parties, Doug Powe and Ann Michel of the Lewis Center staff say there is much a church can do to encourage people to vote, ensure that voting occurs in a safe and secure manner, and encourage hope and civility in this polarized time.
