How to be Christian on Election Day, and the day after

Whomever you support this Election Day, know the flaws in your side, see the virtue in the other side, and show kindness to fellow Christians on all sides.

This week’s video features commentary about next week’s presidential race and the responsibility we have to be kind to fellow Christians who differ in their choice at the ballot box.

You can read Rebecca Carlson’s piece in the Equal Rights Institute’s blog, mentioned in the video, here.

Christianity Today’s podcast “The Bulletin” has run a three-part series on the presidential race, which we also mention in the video. We encourage you to listen to all three parts. In the order in which they aired, they featured notable Christian influencers who will be voting for Peter Sonski of the American Solidarity Party, Vice President Kamala Harris of the Democratic Party, and former President Donald Trump of the Republican Party.
