Christian Witness in the Age of Trump: Staying Faithful in Politically Charged Times with Michael Curry
Wednesday, May 21 at Noon Pacific time

In an era marked by intense political division, many Christians are wrestling with how to faithfully engage in public life without compromising the Gospel. Should churches avoid politics altogether? Or is there a faithful, Christ-centered way to speak into the issues shaping our nation?

Recently retired Presiding Bishop Michael Curry weighs in with wisdom, clarity, and hope. In a brand-new ChurchNext class, Bishop Curry explores what it means to follow Jesus amid today’s cultural and political turbulence.

This live webinar will feature Bishop Curry’s recorded reflections, followed by a dynamic panel conversation with leading voices in the Church. Together, we’ll explore how Christians can navigate political tensions while staying rooted in love, truth, and the teachings of Jesus.

Key Topics Include:

  • Scripture and Christian Political Witness

  • Tradition and Christian Political Witness

  • When (and when not) to address politics
