Episode Details

What if Christians stopped viewing government as a battlefield and started seeing it as a mission field? In this episode, Joseph Backholm sits down with Greg Baker, Executive Vice President of The Family Leader and founder of the Church Ambassador Network, to discuss a different vision for Christian engagement in government. Greg shares how coming to Christ transformed his own approach to politics from winning arguments to serving others as an ambassador for Christ. They discuss the biblical purpose of government, why the Church should neither abandon politics nor look to government for salvation, and how Christians can build meaningful relationships with public officials. Greg also shares how this approach has transformed engagement between churches and government leaders in Iowa and is now spreading to states across the country.
