Question and Ethics: What do I do if my family is divided by politics?

In the relaunch of Question and Ethics, I answer a question that I get so often now: What do I do when my family is so divided over politics? How do I talk to family members that are combative about politics? Part of that division is the result of the way that we have idolized politics in our culture, as well as the growing polarization across a number of issues. However, I think that there are some practices that we can do to not inflame the relationships, even as we communicate truth. We should, as Paul exhorts Christians, strive to leave at peace with all people, so far as it depends on us (Rom. 12:18; Heb. 12:14).

Join me each episode as I walk through your questions and ethical dilemmas. You can submit your question to [email protected] (and I’ll never use your name unless you ask me to). I hope you’ll subscribe and leave a review or comment.

Only when we see how lost we are, we can find our way again. Only when we bury what’s dead can we experience life again. Only when we lose our religion can we be amazed by grace again.
