Faith in the Public Square: Following Jesus in a Divided World with Dr. Vince Bacote

In this episode, Omar sits down with Dr. Vincent (Vince) Bacote—professor of theology at Wheaton College and director of the Center for Applied Christian Ethics—for a rich and thought-provoking conversation at the intersection of faith, culture, and public life.  As an internationally recognized scholar, author, and speaker, Dr. Bacote has spent decades helping Christians think more deeply about how their beliefs shape the way they engage the world—from politics and race to vocation and everyday life.  Omar and Dr. Bacote explore what it means to live as a “political disciple,” drawing from Bacote’s influential work The Political Disciple: A Theology of Public Life. They wrestle with questions of faithful presence in a polarized culture, the challenges of racial reconciliation within the church, and how theology can move beyond abstraction into embodied practice.  Along the way, Dr. Bacote shares insights from his work in public theology, his engagement with the legacy of Abraham Kuyper, and his passion for helping believers build meaningful connections between faith and every sphere of life.  Whether you’re navigating faith in the public square, wrestling with cultural tensions, or simply seeking a more integrated Christian life, this conversation offers wisdom, clarity, and a hopeful vision for faithful engagement in today’s world.
