Holy Man - Episode 5: Politics with Mike

Discussion Questions:

1. How much do you know about, and how much are you involved in politics? Would you rather know more and be more involved, or know less and be involved less?  Why or why not?
2. How did you come to your political party and where you stand on the issues? Directly from your parents/family? News media?  School?  Faith? Combination?
3. Is there a chance that you are not 100% correct with your stance on all of the political issues? If your answer is “no,” would God agree?  If “yes,” are you ok with it?
4. During the podcast, Mike mentioned Colossians 3 as a good passage that can help us in our process of letting our faith lead into our political positions. Read verses 1-3 and discuss how IF all Christians did this as part of their process in arriving at where they stand on politics, things would be better.
5. Tell about a time when you had a great political conversation with someone who thought differently than you do. What made it great?  IF you can’t remember a great, or even a good conversation like this, why do you think that is?
6. If the Christian characteristics that Paul presents in Colossians 3:8-14(read it) were part of our political discussions, how could that help all of us find our way to a better God blessed position on the political issues of the day?
