CEO Jeff Myers of Summit Ministries opens up about a new free online video series, “Should Christians Avoid Politics?” which challenges common perspectives and encourages believers to develop a biblical worldview on political involvement. “I'm not saying that they have to be an enthusiastic member of a political party or a political junkie, but we are citizens in the kingdom of man, as well as being citizens in the Kingdom of God,” he said. “And non-involvement is not an option.”

Dr. Jeff Myers, president of Summit Ministries, discussed his new free video series, "Should Christians Avoid Politics?" which aims to guide young Christians, many of whom are first-time voters, on engaging in politics from a biblical perspective. Myers emphasized the importance of Christian involvement in politics, debunking myths like politics not mattering and the "lesser of two evils" argument. He explained the concept of sphere sovereignty, highlighting the roles of family, church, and government. Myers also promoted Summit Ministries' student conferences, which help young adults develop a biblical worldview, with 85% maintaining it long-term.
