In this episode from the archives, we visit voting as stewardship. It should pair nicely with last week’s episode.
Aeric recommends David French’s two-fold test (https://frenchpress.thedispatch.com/p/how-then-should-christians-vote) recognizing that your vote is your endorsement. That means that voting for the “lesser of two evils” remains an endorsement of evil.
Your vote is your personal commitment to the person you vote for, even if your vote doesn’t make a difference in the election. (https://www.nationalreview.com/magazine/2020/10/19/voting-for-life/)
The smaller the election the more clout your vote will hold and the more difference you can make. Apply the two-fold character and policy test to local candidates, too. You can actually reach out to them and meet them. Aeric did.
Get out there and vote next week!
