Family First on Truth, Politics and the Greens

Andrew Urquhart talks with Samuel Bilton from Family First about trust in politics ahead of the election, focusing on the Green Party's perceived shift away from environmental issues towards identity politics and culture-war topics, and instances where truthfulness has reportedly been compromised for ideological ends. They discuss how Christians should engage in political issues as theological matters rather than disengaging, while holding truth as their highest allegiance above any party.

Samuel encourages Christians to stay politically engaged and prayerfully consider their vote, highlighting Family First's upcoming "Value Your Vote" resource which will outline parties' and leaders' voting records on issues important to Christians. The conversation also touches on the underlying worldview divides between left and right, particularly around objective versus subjective truth, while affirming that all people remain made in God's image despite political differences.
