The gospel calls us to peace. Even as we look at the “armor of God” in Ephesians 6, the Gospel of Peace is what we connect to our feet. Wherever we go peace is to follow. We often forget this in political ideology.

What Jesus stressed is that any political agenda must be advanced with humility and a desire to serve everyone involved.
…if you are showing up in conversations without humility and without a fundamental motivation to serve everyone touched by that topic, in Jesus' evaluation you've missed the boat.

Practices over policy. Relationships over party. Spiritual values over ideology. The how over the what. This is the Big Shift that happens in the Jesus party. It is what makes the Jesus party hang together across political differences. We can disagree on the what if we all are moving toward Jesus in the how.
