Today on the First15 Podcast we are beginning a multi-week series on finding peace in the political season. This is one of the most divisive political times we’ve ever seen, and so we want to have honest and open conversations abound how we can walk in peace with God and others as we journey through it.  To kick off this series, we’re having a conversation with John Mark Comer. He’s the pastor of Bridgetown Church in Portland, Oregon, and the author of The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry. John Mark offers so much wisdom in this conversation. We discuss things like... -Our increasing need for deep community -The difference between a theological issue and a political issue -How not all political issues are weighted equally -How to have a healthy engagement with news and social media To get John Mark's book, The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry, CLICK HERE To access Bridgetown Church's resources around practicing the way of Jesus, CLICK HERE _____________ First15 is a daily devotional written and recorded by Craig Denison.
