BACK40 E58 – Politics in Church, Voluntary Poverty, Self-Care

Mel, Todd, and Michael explore the question of whether the Church should function as the primary sense-making apparatus for Christians in our world. Should the Church help explain what’s taking place in the political sphere? Should the Church address current events and help Christians understand them, or is there a better way? Next they talk about whether poverty is virtuous in the Christian faith. What did Jesus think about poverty? The conversation finishes with a discussion about whether good leadership implies proper self-care. Is it possible to be a servant-leader while focusing on yourself?
