Politics and the Church with Justin Giboney (Founder of The AND Campaign)

In this thought-provoking episode, we sit down with Justin Giboney (attorney, political strategist, and co-founder of The AND Campaign) to explore what it truly means for Christians to engage in politics with both conviction and compassion. Justin shares his journey from campaign politics in Atlanta to launching a movement aimed at reshaping how Christians approach the public square. Frustrated by a culture where political parties often replace biblical frameworks, he explains why faith should never be subordinated to ideology and how the Gospel calls believers to something deeper. Together, we unpack:

Why many Christians default to partisan thinking and how to break freeThe importance of developing a biblical framework for political engagementHow “compassion & conviction” challenges both the political right and leftMoving beyond one-issue voting to a more holistic, “whole life” perspectivePractical ways to escape echo chambers and engage in more thoughtful, grace-filled conversations

Justin also discusses his book Compassion & Conviction (co-authored with Chris Butler and Michael Wear), offering a roadmap for Christians who want to navigate politics faithfully without sacrificing truth or love. If you’ve ever felt frustrated by the lack of nuance, compassion, or biblical grounding in today’s political conversations, this episode will challenge and equip you to think and engage differently.
