Religion and Politics: The Dangerous Myth That Religion and Politics Don't Mix
Podcast: Making Sense of Faith with Adam HamiltonPublished On: Fri Jan 23 2026
Description: Should your faith shape your politics? In this candid episode, Adam Hamilton challenges the myth that religion and politics don't mix—and explains why staying silent on justice issues might actually contradict the teachings of Jesus.Drawing from a controversial sermon on immigration enforcement and political division, Adam shares powerful stories of fear in immigrant communities, explores the concept of "just laws" versus "just enforcement," and offers a framework for how Christians can engage politically without losing their humanity or dividing their communities.You'll discover why empathy is both the most important and most difficult practice in polarized times, how to protest in ways that reflect your values, and what it means to live out the prayer "thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth" in concrete, everyday ways.Whether you're deeply involved in politics or trying to stay above the fray, this episode offers a thoughtful path forward for people of faith navigating America's deepest divisions.
