Read Aloud Doctor of Ministry Thesis Paper on Christians and Politics (GCTS DMin): Introduction and Abstract

Should pastors talk about politics? What will happen if a church starts addressing politics? How should Christians engage in faith and politics? Should we mix religion and politics? Should Christians always vote Republican or Democrat, pro-life or for the poor? Does God care about politics? What does the Bible say?

Rev. Dr. Jonathan Romig studied political discipleship in the local church as part of his Doctor of Ministry (DMin) thesis project at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary (GCTS). As part of his studies, he preached a 10-part sermon series, "Faith & Flourishing in Politics," leading a local church through a biblical and theological framework for engaging in politics today using the acronym F.L.O.U.R.I.S.H. 

In this podcast, listen to both the ten-week sermon series and to Jonathan read through his Doctor of Ministry thesis paper. You can download a copy of the DMin thesis PDF here. Enjoy!
