This Election Was a Warning. Most Christians Are Missing It | Live Free with Josh Howerton

Did the 2026 midterm elections reveal something deeper about America's spiritual condition? And what does it really mean to follow Jesus when culture moves in the opposite direction? In this episode of the LIVE FREE Podcast, Pastors Josh Howerton, Carlos Erazo, and Paul Cunningham unpack the election results through a biblical lens. From God's sovereignty over nations to the warnings found in Romans 1, they explore how Christians can stand firm in truth without placing their ultimate hope in politics. But the conversation doesn't end with politics. Turning to Mark 8, the pastors explore Jesus' call to deny ourselves, take up our cross, and follow Him. Through powerful stories from church history and everyday discipleship, they reveal how small acts of obedience can create ripple effects that reach far beyond our lifetime. What You'll Learn: Why God's sovereignty provides hope regardless of political outcomes How Romans 1 describes the consequences of rejecting biblical truth Why the gospel, not politics, is the ultimate answer to humanity's spiritual problems What Jesus meant when He said to deny yourself and take up your cross How small acts of obedience can impact generations Stand firm.
