She argues that believers should care about the condition of their nation and local communities because their flourishing depends on it, and she connects this obligation to political engagement—urging Christians to be involved in politics and vote biblical leaders into office.

Jeremiah 29:7
Chapters
So as believers. As believers, we are called. I mentioned this earlier. We are called to seek the welfare of our nation. Jeremiah 29:7 says this. Seek the welfare of Scott. Excuse me, of the city. Seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you into exile and pray to the Lord on its behalf, for in its welfare you will find your welfare. Right? Seek the welfare of it and pray for it. Because it's. I think this is such a clear mandate for believers here on why we should care about the condition of our nation, our. Our large cities in the little maybe local suburb that we live in, Right? Because our ability is based upon. Is, is a lot of it is. Is based upon the ability for us to flourish, Right? So if we want to flourish individually, we got to seek the welfare of our city. We got to seek the welfare of, of. Of any environment, any community that we're actually in. This is again, a command from God. And as Christians, we need to do this. If we're just checked out thinking, I'm just going to read my Bible, but never apply these things, what are you doing? And this is why Christians must hold them accountable and why we have to be involved with politics, Right? The standard should be Christianity, right? This is why we have to vote biblical leaders in, right?
