I'm Just Thinkin': Recent Episodes
Byron Harvey
2024 holds the potential to be a truly divisive, discouraging, and difficult year. It's hard to be optimistic about the year to come, and yet as followers of Jesus, if we take seriously the truth of His Word, we can not only survive--but thrive in--2024.
In this final episode of Season 1, we take a look at our citizenship as Christians, and do a brief review of where we've been.
As Christians, how do we disagree with others when it comes to politics? "Agreeably" is a reasonably-good goal, but can we do better than that? Disagree "Redemptively"? I like that! Here's Part 2!

The second half, if you will, of our consideration of how Christians should think about the subject of voting.
While we've seen that there are a number of things other than voting that a faithful Christian can do in order to represent Christ in the political arena, it's nonetheless important that we do exercise that privilege and right. So, when we begin to think about voting, we should think about how we think about voting. This episode, the first of a two-parter on that subject, helps us begin to explore this topic.
What does the government owe us...and what do we owe to our government, as followers of Jesus? Listen as we consider Scriptural truths that touch on this important subject.
How much space should politics take up in the brain of a follower of Jesus? And once we figure that out, how should our thinking be shaped? Let's dig into those subjects in this episode, "Suitably Affected"!
Is it worth our time to get involved in politics, as believers in Jesus? What might be the value of our doing so? That's the topic of this episode...and it might get a little controversial!
So as we consider how to think about politics, what should our politics LOOK like? Today, we talk about how the Christian should reflect Jesus in everything he/she does...including political involvement.
Season 1, Episode 2: The Goal of our InvolvementHave you ever stepped back and asked the question, "why should I concern myself with politics?" It's a simple question, but fundamental to the Christian's political involvement. I have the answer, here!
Season 1: "Not in Polite Company: The Intersection of Faith and Politics"
It's certainly a fair question to ask, "why is this subject so important?" I try to give my answers to this question in this episode.
This is "Episode 0", the preliminary podcast wherein I take a few moments to explain why I am beginning this podcast. I'd suggest you start here, in part because it's fairly short (whaddya got to lose?) and in part because starting at the beginning is always a good place. If you like it, consider subscribing...and it never, ever hurts to tell a friend. Thanks!
This is a very quick introduction to my podcast, "I'm Just Thinkin'". If I could prevail upon you to listen to it in its entirety (less than 2 minutes!), I would appreciate it so very, very much!
