Stewardship in Society: Navigating Politics and Healthcare with Conviction
In this episode of CMDA’s Voice of Advocacy, host Dr. Brick Lance speaks with political scholar Hunter Baker about why Christians, especially those in healthcare, should engage in politics and public policy. Baker explains that because government decisions directly impact our daily lives and religious freedom, political participation is an important form of stewardship rather than something to avoid. They also discuss how timeless biblical values and natural law provide a moral compass for defending human dignity and rebuilding respectful dialogue across cultural divides.
