Untangling Faith and Power: Biblical Christianity in a Political Age

Christianity today is often tangled up with politics, nationalism, fear, and power. For many believers, faith that once centered on Jesus now feels confused, conflicted, or quietly distorted. Untangling Faith and Power is a teaching channel exploring the difference between Biblical Christianity and the cultural or political versions we’ve inherited. Through Scripture, history, and honest reflection, this series asks hard questions about how faith has been used to support power—and how Jesus continually calls us beyond it. These conversations are not about telling people how to vote. They’re about discernment. About truth. About reclaiming a faith rooted in love, humility, justice, and courage rather than fear or control. If you’ve ever wondered: Why Christianity feels so politicized Whether protest, doubt, or deconstruction can be faithful How Scripture gets misused in moments of fear Or what it really means to follow Jesus in a divided world You’re not alone—and you’re in the right place. This channel is an invitation to clarity, compassion, and a deeper, more honest faith—centered on Christ, not power.
