How can we lower the temperature of the political climate?

2024 is a historic election year, with elections in fifty countries and over two billion voters projected to head to the polls in, for instance, the United States, India, Mexico, and South Africa. This week’s guest talks about how we can actively—and prayerfully—participate in good government and orderly, smooth elections both before and after we enter the voting booth.

Can prayer truly influence today’s polarized political atmosphere?
