But https://www.thecrossingchurch.com/staff/keith-simon/ (Pastors Keith Simon) and https://www.thecrossingchurch.com/staff/patrick-miller/ (Patrick Miller) believe that this doesn't mean that we should (or can) keep our faith out the voting booth.

S1 Ep 160Should Christians Be Rich? | Questions You’re Asking

"We have narrowed salvation to focus only on our souls or only on individuals. And we have missed what God is doing on a cosmic level, what God is doing on a bigger level." When we think about salvation, we probably think about our souls, but it's way bigger than that. God cares about all of his creation, which includes animals and nature. We are called to be stewards of the earth and caretakers of the land. Most of us care about the environment, but we might not realize how important it is. Learn how we're supposed to care for the earth from Dr. Sandra Richter as she joins Keith and Patrick to discuss how creation fits in with the Kingdom of God. Your support makes TMBT possible.

S1 Ep 157Should Christian Go to War? No.

Patrick and Keith are doing another point/counter-point. Should Christians go to war? In this episode Patrick says the answer is no, based on Jesus’s teachings and actions.
