Seeing Gray in A World of Black and White | Pastor Adam Hamilton

In today's polarized political climate, how can Christians navigate election season with wisdom and grace? Pastor Adam Hamilton explores this timely question through the lens of faith and critical thinking. Drawing from recent research and Biblical wisdom, he challenges us to move beyond simple "left vs. right" thinking and embrace a more nuanced understanding of political discourse.

Pastor Adam unpacks fascinating insights from Proverbs about wisdom versus foolishness, applying these ancient teachings to our modern political context. He addresses vital topics including:
How to fact-check political claims responsibly
Why both conservative and liberal perspectives matter
Understanding the "radical center" in Christian faith
Building bridges in a polarized world
Moving beyond conspiracy theories and half-truths

Through engaging examples (from Oreo cookies to golf swings!), Pastor Adam illustrates how Christians can be both principled and bridge-building, both thoughtful and kind. Whether you're concerned about the upcoming election or simply wanting to engage political discussions more constructively, this message offers practical wisdom for being "wise as serpents and innocent as doves" in today's political landscape.
