As part of the launch of the 31 Days of Unity Campaign, we are exploring the experiences of Christians across the country and trying to discern the most significant challenges to our pursuit of unity. In this conversation, Ideos VP Greg Arthur engages with Pastor Dexter Harris and Dr. Grant Wade to discuss the unique challenges and opportunities of pastoring in Middle America, particularly regarding political divisions and social justice issues.
They explore the very different community contexts of Sullivan, Illinois, and Gary, Indiana, and how these environments, one politically red and one politically blue, shape their congregations' political engagement and social responsibilities. The discussion emphasizes the importance of unity, the need for difficult conversations, and the role of faith in navigating these complex issues. They also explore the challenges of discipling Christians who are already being shaped and formed by political ideologies.
The 31 Days of Unity campaign started on 10/1/24, but you can still sign up and participate.
