When churches get active in social justice and practice prophetically speaking out against injustices in the country (and the world), there is one critique that stands out above all the others:

?The church isn?t supposed to be political.?

Yet, if you?ve taken the time to read the gospels, you?ll see that Jesus is actually quite political. Jesus flipped tables in the Temple to protest economic injustice. He stood with the marginalized?lepers, sex workers, outsiders?while calling out the hypocrisy of the powerful (Matthew 23). His parables disrupted social hierarchies and pointed toward a kin(g)dom where all belong.

Today, our democracy is fragile. People are afraid. We see institutions of higher education, law offices, and corporations giving in to an administration that has consistently shown itself to be openly hostile to democratic norms, driven by white Christian nationalism, and dangerously adept at manipulating fear to erode civil liberties and consolidate control.

Jesus calls his followers to step in with courage, compassion, and clarity. That?s why we've created this new design. You can read more about our thoughts on the church and politics in our blog post, ?It?s Time to Get Political: Resist. Act. Vote.?

These ?Resist. Act. Vote.? shirt designs invite meaningful conversations about justice, democracy, and faith. Use it to remind yourself?and your community?that the kin(g)dom of God is built not on silence, but on sacred disruption.
