Elections Have Consequences, and the Church’s Calling Is to Shine Brighter in the Darkness

Brian From reflects on the cultural shifts following Tuesday’s election, including a viral video of young women cheering that “abortion is so back” at a Georgia election night party, and West Hollywood allowing multi-partner relationships to register as domestic partners. Rather than despairing, he calls the church to roll up its sleeves, support pregnancy centers, and speak hope through the gospel. He shares Russell Moore’s essay on why he’s still a Christian, and two heartwarming stories: a 97-year-old who passed away at his birthday party after dancing to “Stayin’ Alive,” and a Texas school custodian who wept when her district named a new elementary school after her. Brian celebrates Detroit Lions linebacker Jack Campbell’s encouraging recovery update and his testimony that his faith has never been stronger. In the second hour, he shares a message on finding our identity in Christ rather than our accomplishments, discusses a Gallup poll showing a sharp drop in well-being among adults under 30, and shares a Gospel Coalition piece on why the gospel changes the heart rather than grading our performance. He closes with David Platt’s call to remember and pray for persecuted believers in North Korea.
