00:00:08,165 --> 00:00:09,405
Speaker 1: Life Audio.

2
00:00:12,205 --> 00:00:19,445
Speaker 2: From the Salvation Army Welcome to Heartbeat.

3
00:00:18,685 --> 00:00:22,605
Speaker 1: Politics. They show up at family dinners, in group texts,

4
00:00:22,645 --> 00:00:25,765
Speaker 1: and sometimes even at church, and as Christians, it's important

5
00:00:25,765 --> 00:00:29,165
Speaker 1: to be informed caring about justice, leadership in the future

6
00:00:29,205 --> 00:00:32,845
Speaker 1: of our kids. That matters. But being informed doesn't give

7
00:00:32,925 --> 00:00:37,085
Speaker 1: us permission to be unkind. Scripture tells us, blessed are

8
00:00:37,125 --> 00:00:41,405
Speaker 1: the peacemakers, not the point scorers, not the loudest voices

9
00:00:41,445 --> 00:00:45,005
Speaker 1: in the room, but the peacemakers. Our witness isn't measured

10
00:00:45,005 --> 00:00:47,885
Speaker 1: by how strong our opinions are, but by how strong

11
00:00:47,964 --> 00:00:51,445
Speaker 1: our love is, especially for people who see things differently

12
00:00:51,485 --> 00:00:54,005
Speaker 1: than we do. Our kids are watching how we talk

13
00:00:54,045 --> 00:00:56,845
Speaker 1: about others, how we listen, and how we respond when

14
00:00:56,845 --> 00:00:59,365
Speaker 1: we disagree, because in a divided world, one of the

15
00:00:59,445 --> 00:01:02,725
Speaker 1: most powerful things a Christian can bring is love that

16
00:01:02,845 --> 00:01:04,765
Speaker 1: refuses to divide.
