We live in politically tumultuous times. Our country's politically active are being targeted, threatened, and killed, which not only grieves the souls of those around them, but reverses the cause of democracy.

Together, with sharpened arguments and skilled conversation, we must win over hearts rather than threaten heartbeats.

Donald Trump's involvement in the nation's capital has highlighted some unfinished business in the U.S. federal government: home rule. Washington, D.C. was established by the Founding Fathers as a federal district free from state attachment. Yet, there exists long debate over home rule, including Congress’s failure to create a governing body for the city prior to 1973. In this episode, Stephen examines the effectiveness of home rule, the changes playing out amongst long-neglected issues, and what it would take to make D.C. one of the greatest cities in the world.

We're all familiar with the U.S. tradition of the separation of church and state. But what about the political matters that happen behind closed church doors?

Despite recent headlines, the Johnson Amendment (prohibiting non-profits from endorsing political candidates) still remains in the IRS Tax Law. And though the Trump administration has agreed not to enforce this poorly conceived law, this protection may not last long. Above all, Stephen urges religious leaders to refrain from becoming personality cults, and instead use their influence to teach principles and truths that can guide congregations in their political decision-making.

What kind of culture are you building?

In this episode, Stephen challenges the notion of “THE Culture” and urges listeners to recognize the clash of cultures shaping our time. "Culture" is not monolithic—in reality, we live among a multitude of cultures that are grown, cultivated, and lived out in families, churches, and communities. It is within our power to generate infectious, life-giving cultures right where we are to turn the tide of the empty, Neo-Pagan society we find ourselves in today.

In this episode of The Stephen Mansfield Podcast, Stephen reflects on the recent U.S. airstrikes against Iran and the deeper spiritual and political dynamics within the country. With Christianity quietly flourishing among a young, oppressed population, he calls attention to the stark contrast between Iran’s vibrant people and its aging, radical regime. It’s time for the Iranian people to rise and reclaim their nation, but not necessarily with the help of the West.
