Reflecting on the 'Meh'-term Elections

After two years of pandemic tension, are we finally too tired to get angry at the polls?

That’s the question that Christianity Today’s director of podcasts, Mike Cosper, and editor-in-chief, Russell Moore, discuss on the first episode of a new CT podcast called The Bulletin.

Cosper and Moore were joined by Justin Giboney, an attorney, political strategist, and ordained minister, and Michael Wear, president and CEO of the Center for Christianity and Public Life. The four shared a candid conversation on what the midterm elections revealed and confirmed about American culture.

Looking for more insights into our political climate? CT has you covered. Kathryn Watson writes that "Gen Z Evangelicals Vote More than Millennials or Gen X Did" and Daniel Silliman reports on the prayed-for midterm "red wave" that didn’t materialize. Jen Pollock Michel and Emily Belz consider the state of gun violence. And Nathaniel Strenger ponders the political power of neighborhoods.

Whether politics enliven or exasperate you—or both on any given day—may we remember that they are but one vessel for living as neighbors in an unjust world. As Strenger writes, "A neighbor is he or she who has mercy. ‘Go and do likewise,’ Jesus implores."
