Episode 225: How to Stay Sane Through Another Political Cycle | Preston Sprinkle
Hole In My Heart Podcast
Friday, September 13, 2024 - 54 minutes
Something we so appreciate about Dr. Preston Sprinkle is he doesn’t tell us what to think, he encourages us to think about what we are thinking about.
When it comes to engaging politics, we need people to help us think about politics biblically first.
If you’re like us, you’re all done with politics…yesterday.
And yet, we cannot escape it. Is there a way to engage it without losing our minds (and faith)?
Theologian, author, podcaster, and friend of the podcast, Preston Sprinkle, is just the expert we need to help us think about politics biblically.
We discuss:
- How can we vote with a Kingdom of God mindset?
- What is the Kingdom of God anyway?
- You talk about “exiles” and “Babylon,” and I hear that language in the Bible, but how does that apply today?
- If we are primarily citizens of the Kingdom of God, does that mean we should never take an active role in political things?
| Highlights |
- “The day after the election, your kingdom mission is exactly the same, and the power you have to fulfill that kingdom mission is exactly the same. The values you are to embody are exactly the same.”
- “Our primary citizenship is as a member of Christ’s global, multiethnic kingdom that has been dispersed among the nations.”
- “Our allegiance to King Jesus should throw a heavy shadow on all the things that these earthly kingdoms are doing.”

“Look! I am sending my messenger, and he will prepare the way before me. Then the Lord you are seeking will suddenly come to his temple. The messenger of the covenant, whom you look for so eagerly, is surely coming,” says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies.
