In this episode of Conversations That Matter, Jon explores the relationship between politics and morality for Christians. He argues that while politics undeniably involves moral elements, it is not fundamentally a cosmic battle between good and evil. Instead, politics is about preserving and improving a specific way of life for one's family, community, and people. Using sports as an analogy, Harris explains that games have rules and moral expectations, yet the goal is one team prevailing through local loyalty and ordered love, not universal ethics. Christians can support opposing teams faithfully, just as political issues often require wisdom rather than binary moral judgments. Examples include debating condos versus scenic preservation, allying with feminists to protect girls' sports, taxing vices like marijuana to curb harm, or opposing alcohol bans to safeguard family heritage. Harris stresses the art of the possible: forming limited partnerships with flawed individuals against greater threats, as on Flight 93, and even opposing morally superior foes if they endanger your home, as in historical wars where Christians fought on both sides. God's moral law remains universal on core issues like abortion, but most political decisions hinge on context, identity, and stewardship. The aim is flourishing for those under your care morally, economically, and culturally. Harris rejects situational ethics while affirming situated wisdom in pursuing the best for your people.Order Against the Waves: Againstthewavesbook.comCheck out Jon's Music: jonharristunes.comTo Support the Podcast: https://www.worldviewconversation.com/support/Become a Patronhttps://www.patreon.com/jonharrispodcastFollow Jon on Twitter: https://twitter.com/jonharris1989Follow Jon on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jonharris1989/Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/conversations-that-matter8971/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
