If you’re reading this, we know two things are likely true about you based on our target audience:
You’re probably a Christian.
You’re probably interested in politics.
The And Campaign offers a Biblical framework to engage politics with non-partisan, common-sense education, equipping believers to confront tribalism and promote unity.
But what does that mean, and how do we as Christians engage in politics in a more faithful way?
If you’ve ever asked yourself those questions, join us for biblically-grounded answers at our 10 Civic Disciplines discussions every Thursday this month.
Head to our new EventBrite page and RSVP now!
And be sure to download the Substack app by clicking below. In the app, you’ll be able to chat with us directly, watch live videos and stay up to date on all our events.
