Hot take: it’s okay and even good for politicians to be boring, uncharismatic, even bureaucratic legislators, who simply move the country along with better laws and are able to step up in a crisis. We don’t need saviours and messiahs. We need temporary stewards.

I made a new vid about a really important concept for Christians - do we view the world as a place of scarcity, or a place of abundance? And how does our answer to that question drive our politics?

There's more that dances on the prairies
Than the wind
More that pulses in the ocean
Than the tide
There's a love that is fiercer
Than the love between friends
More gentle than a mother's
When her baby's at her side

Christian leaders,
Support who you choose, but no candidate in this presidential race deserves your uncritical and unconditional allegiance.
Please be shrewd and sober in your support and in your opposition.
Maintain your integrity. Don’t let them make you a flunky or a prop.

If your Christianity sees kindness as weakness and compassion as compromise and treating with dignity those with whom you disagree as collaboration with the enemy, you have utterly lost touch with Christ.

The idea that we must be entirely progressive or conservative on every issue is a ploy to control our cultural and political opinions.
Once we buy into it and wear the label proudly, critical thinking is no longer necessary. The influencers do all the thinking for us.

Politically, I’ve never felt better about being a rabidly committed both-sideser.

Ronald Reagan: “Rather than...talking about putting up a fence, why don’t we work out some recognition of our mutual problems and make it possible for them to come here legally with a work permit…earning here they pay taxes here.”

Christians: if your favorite political party causes you to not love your neighbor or enemy, your party is standing between you and Jesus.

Jews, Palestinians, immigrants (even the ones who came here illegally)—all precious people made in the image of God.
They’re all currently involved in complex, tragic situations. But however you talk about these issues, and whatever positions you take, if you’re a Christian, I’m begging you to refrain from using language that dehumanizes or demeans them.
You can’t worship God while trashing those made in God’s image.

Yesterday our firm hosted a farewell celebration for Dennis Van Kampen as he finishes up his time as CEO of @meltrotter to lead the @denverrescue.
I thought it only fitting to post this quote from Dennis -
We will miss you, friend.

Question: When Dr. King critiqued conservative support of white supremacy then critiqued moderate incrementalism and then critiqued northern liberals for not wanting to change systems in the north, which “side” was he taking?
None. He was leading.
Choosing a side is overrated.
