EP 52: Faith and Politics (Ft. Justin E. Giboney)

Join me, Megan Ashley, for another episode of *In Totality* as we welcome Justin Giboney, Attorney, Political Strategist, and President/co-founder of the AND Campaign, for a thought-provoking conversation at the intersection of faith and politics. Justin shares his journey from a church-centered upbringing to his role as a political strategist in Atlanta, detailing the trials and triumphs of integrating his Christian beliefs into his career. Through personal stories, he reflects on the challenges of holding firm to faith amid the high-stakes world of politics and the importance of aligning political actions with Christian values.

In this episode, we explore the unique struggles faced by Black communities in political engagement and reflect on pivotal moments like Barack Obama’s election. Justin sheds light on the courage it takes to uphold one’s convictions, even when faced with opposing norms, and stresses the need for organized Christian voices in politics—advocating for inclusivity while staying true to one’s beliefs. We also dive into the complex relationship between race, religion, and party identity in America, touching on historical influences like Jim Crow and shifting political affiliations. By addressing these topics, we hope to provide insight for navigating the political landscape with integrity and conviction.

As we conclude, we discuss the importance of media literacy and encourage engaging with diverse news sources. Justin recommends platforms like Breaking Points and Free Press as balanced alternatives to cable news. Don’t miss this compelling discussion on faith, identity, and informed engagement in today’s political climate.
