The Shape of a Circle | Everyday Discipleship

178. Compassion & Politics

Brian and Cammie cap off this compassion series with a catch-all discussion that divides all of us - Politics.  There is us, and then there is the other, when it comes to politics, but when we're all one in Christ what do you do with the other in politics?  There's a lot for us all to grow in here, and the Prophets Zepheniah & Jonah point the way in lessons learned about humility.   If you're interested in going further with what we do in the church when one believer differs from another believer on Bible topics, this 4 Chair Sermon [https://vimeo.com/881667870?turnstile=0.XAY0_tSaP-G_wR_hzP06ML4oSQDRStyDvwB0Sh226zKnIZ5eG-htyq2WVKhTE-L4wmmeW0QQBqpUnAk-1_lae_NR5ztfXZzr1Cp7SOH8s52jr18nlJlOg19Pmwreea8lITp8OkXx8RcbzWPx1QnotGz6KcAeTyf65HH1IsC-kwFAWohNE0eWD7VAAAPgapDJjzvlFJwDm5zY_fIIBAayhI-FuqhNORqSozkJo1SEdEDNIWdsSrfSvUwIxibpEVGipREzM643PYLcPN73pyh8IMAbUCnQHXBSX7nIwSBieTiFP6mUR0cpwrcoCSyYmvf69HxuiBBtnpEkcnUmgZiFuG07hoKcAWdIjM0cBh67XVsvTNYNqj2MqK34Dmbn5OGAueZSIEro6uiutyPLDMbio2jWBEdyrquwP6fGQQOEwAkAZFgq4RVOa2PByb4KcDhYqUTyiX6d6bjdJ98-wHsb0yRxhqJ943ANJuzfdcktRkcyY9NRD5N-Xy9vgH7gBoOE9wIpFVCuiKCydzBJ0eXje0dEq9vFuxWv7EBytzG4StvMtTM0vxxs0abIcVYxKdVXCEQcfXP5pt1vz5DXfnVFUIe8ZbBx97ZVZMGc0bp9j-bnd6Zn28NbgTJIQXBm3Ow8yCYvF_TcOifewEdBEAoz1LYBpw0xPdLkOxPlv9VRh2EhQzpCnFsu2VG3KF9-CQ-0mIAfOhPl3ntvFnWCsGeEnauYwuxxsRDBI0Yg1YL4Q7xheoicoyfuxJOuB1dQAQt7xe2-ph5Pe3PKXcHV8p9cNe1ieF8RgYgaAtUaUWw3aA-AO4RJROHK-ZDbc_1UuxKk1SDX_1lwmjs61-Tf5ln-bHQOLeAatc8UkhM_ZUvEnT9x461kZD3k4x3qiFruwWcr-oitvL-WsyWxsJlIdAmIwMsmaQSZHBA1zElYT0IkQ1cMpem_h5TXkDsvvYDMITYx.iXCvJmmJyzGL31jP1r_DHg.b8e67f6ce8914a6619d7a2083a595dba1f875d14bb5f141abf139f5579f310a9] is one of our classic must-listens.

177. Compassion & CoMissioned

It's a big world with billions of people and millions of problems, so what does it take to pick your part, and get on with doing what Jesus has placed in front of you to do about it?  Malachi & Haggai have a lot to say about this.

176. Compassion & LGBTQ

Good questions build good bridges.  You don't have to have the same side, to understand how someone arrived at their side.  For example: Climate Consciousness, Pro-Life, and LGBTQ.  Compassion knows how to find the gospel on either side of today's most polar issues.

175. Compassion & Families

Sometimes, compassion is hardest to practice with the people you're closest too - family!  When is time to set a boundary and hold your boundary, but then when does it become time to cross your own boundary to bring compassion and mercy to the other side?

174. Compassion & Taxes

Our compassion funnels into so many different choices of generosity, but are we compassionate enough to be generous with our taxes?  When would Jesus have us scrutinize the stewardship and recipients of aid, and when would he have us be supportively glad that our taxes are at working doing something (anything) about it?
