The Shocking Truth About Christianity in a Divided World

Do politics make you anxious, angry, or just plain tired? In a world where every headline seems to demand a side, how can believers stay faithful to Christ’s Kingdom while engaging with earthly politics? This episode cuts through the noise to uncover what Scripture teaches about government, justice, and allegiance (Romans 13:1–7; Matthew 22:21; Philippians 3:20).

In this episode of Truth Unveiled, Ralph Estep Jr. unpacks how to live as a Kingdom citizen in a polarized culture—where loyalty to Christ must come before party, personality, or platform. Through biblical examples and modern parallels, Ralph explores how humility, prayer, and conviction can shape how Christians vote, serve, and speak truth with grace. You’ll also hear stories of believers influencing change without compromising their faith—reminding us that politics can be a place for light, not division.
