Navigating the Tension Between Policy and Faith

Navigating the tension between policy and faith can be challenging, especially in today's America. Holding steadfast to our beliefs while recognizing policy differences is crucial. It is important to maintain love for Jesus Christ and His truth, even as we engage in public policy discussions. Some specific policy areas that require careful navigation are abortion, marriage, and contraception. By being savvy and strategic in our messaging and approach, we can promote our beliefs without compromising them. It is also important to pray, listen, and engage in respectful dialogue with others who may hold different perspectives. Humor can be a powerful tool to bridge divides and promote understanding. Additionally, getting outdoors, reading widely, and seeking social interactions in the workplace can enhance our ability to navigate the tension between policy and faith. It is crucial to question and reframe narratives surrounding our beliefs and engage in tactical approaches such as incrementalism and strategic retreat when necessary. Lastly, we must be prepared to fight for religious liberty and protect institutions of faith when faced with opposition.
