Exploring the Marketplace Politics for People Who Hate Politics with Denise Gitsham (S:3 - Ep 60)
Today on Exploring the Marketplace, Shawn Bolz and Bob Hasson bring to the conversation Denise Gitsham. Denise is a Lawyer and speaker ranging on topics from business, leadership and faith. She has served as a presidential appointee at the White House and the US Department of Justice, as well as a law clerk in the US Senate. Denise appears regularly on national news outlets as a political commentator, and remains heavily engaged in campaigns at the federal, state, and local levels. Her first book, "Politics for People Who Hate Politics: How to Engage without Losing Your Friends or Selling Your Soul” available now. Tune in as Shawn, Bob and Denise discuss how God opened doors for her to run for Congress in San Diego 2016. God revealed to Denise she didn’t have the heart posture He required of a public servant operating in His name. Since then God has been rewiring her heart by teaching her how to do politics as a disciple of Jesus focused on speaking the truth in love, and being more committed to Kingdom principles than partisan positions. Denise shares the process behind her new book, the rejections she faced up front, but the whole point to help Christians extract themselves from the partisan grind, and advocate for things from a Kingdom perspective.
