"Salt and Light: Your Role in the Public Square"
Stand Firm. Speak Boldly. Influence the Public Square for Christ.
Why This Matters Now More Than Ever
We live in a nation with a government of the people, by the people—which means Christians have a responsibility to help shape the future.
Since we are called to be salt and light in the world, that includes influencing laws and policies that shape our communities.
Every policy decision impacts your life, your family, and your church. If we stay silent, those who oppose God’s Kingdom values will often be the only voice at the table. And those decisions won’t just affect us—they’ll affect our neighbors.
So if we love our neighbor...
If we cherish our freedoms...
If we care about the gospel reaching the lost…
Then we must engage.
It’s time to step up, get equipped, and make an impact.
This training will show you exactly how.
What You’ll Learn
Why political engagement is a biblical mandate
and how it’s part of loving your neighbor
How your voice influences policy
even when it feels like it doesn’t
Practical strategies for churches to engage effectively
without compromise
What’s at stake in a post-Roe era
and how the church must respond
