Election years can be challenging.
In the midst of a divisive election season, it can be challenging to navigate the turbulent waters of political discourse while maintaining our commitment to loving our neighbors. As Christians, we are called to be peacemakers and to extend grace and understanding to those around us, even when we disagree. To help you navigate this difficult time, we have compiled a set of resources designed to equip you and your church to love your neighbors effectively, thoughtfully, and meaningfully while understanding the electoral process.
