E18 - Bridge Builders: A Biblical Guide to Politics and Civic Duty

In this powerful and timely conversation, Gavin sits down with Pastor Michael Dow of Habitation Church to explore what it truly means to live as a Christian in today’s political climate. With local elections on the horizon, they unpack how believers can engage in civic life without losing sight of their ultimate allegiance—to Christ and His Kingdom.

Together, they discuss the tension between faith and politics, the difference between being in the world but not of it, and how to navigate complex cultural conversations with truth, love, and integrity. From the importance of raising image-bearers (our children) to the biblical call to be ambassadors and bridge builders, this episode challenges listeners to think deeply about identity, representation, and the eternal hope found in Jesus—not in any political party or policy.

If you’ve ever wrestled with how to balance your faith with civic responsibility, or how to stand for truth without adding to division, this episode will equip and encourage you to build bridges, not walls.
