How might we be tempted to over identify with our politics in unsettling times? On the second Sunday of Easter, Nic Acosta fasts from being “that guy” in regards to seeing everything solely through a political identity and challenges us to question how a purity psychology of politics might subtly supplant our love for Christ and neighbor. [John 12:1-8]
Has purity thinking affected how I relate to other with different political views?
What are some ways I can practice detaching my sense of self from my political views?
How can I lean into Christ as the true source of my identity?
