WesWorld - Episode 6 - “Let’s Talk About Religion & Politics”

WesWorld hosts take up one of the most difficult and unavoidable questions facing the church: How should Christians think about religion and politics? They explore political theology, moral agency, the role of the state, and the church’s responsibility to speak prophetically without collapsing into partisanship. The episode examines why Wesleyans have often lacked a coherent political theology, how doctrines like prevenient grace and sanctification shape Christian views of freedom and coercion, and why the absence of theological grounding often leads churches to default to cultural or partisan assumptions.  MENTIONS • The Desire of the Nations — Oliver O’Donovan • The Coddling of the American Mind — Jonathan Haidt & Greg Lukianoff • The City of God — Augustine of Hippo • John Wesley Institute - https://nextmethodism.org/ ASBURY SEMINARY LINKS • Podcasts: https://asbury.to/podcasts  • Website: https://asburyseminary.edu/ • Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AsburySeminary/ • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/asburyseminary • TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@asburyseminary  Disclaimer: The views and opinions expressed in this episode are those of the speakers and do not necessarily represent the official position of Asbury Theological Seminary.
