In this episode of the Plain Speech Podcast, I sit down with Darin Stidd, a former pastor turned grassroots political activist with Young Americans for Liberty. Darin brings a rare combination of pastoral heart, sharp theology, and boots-on-the-ground political experience.
Together, we tackle some of the most pressing questions Christians are asking right now:
Should Christians really care about politics if Jesus said, “My kingdom is not of this world”?
What does Romans 13 actually teach about submission to government?
How should we think about separation of church and state?
Why “just preach the gospel” is a gnostic distortion of Christianity.
What ordinary Christians can do to push back against tyranny without running for office.
Why most politicians don’t care about right and wrong — and how Christians can still force them to do the right thing.
How just 3% plus one of engaged citizens can change the course of politics in your state.
Derin is convinced that Christians must bring their theology into the public square and learn to wield power in ways that honor Christ. This conversation will challenge you to think biblically, act courageously, and refuse to sit on the Stiddelines.
