How should Christians engage in civic life without losing their spiritual grounding?

In this episode of the Faith@Work Podcast, Kelsi sits down with Steven Eng, advocacy director for the National Association of Evangelicals, to explore what faithful public engagement looks like in a divided culture.

With over 30 years of pastoral ministry and a background in political science and theology, Steve brings both biblical clarity and practical wisdom to the conversation. Together, they discuss:

• What it means to be politically engaged but spiritually anchored
• The biblical call to care for the vulnerable — including low-income families, immigrants, refugees, and the global poor
• The difference between the role of the local church and national Christian organizations
• How to advocate without compromising unity, character, or Christian witness
• Practical ways business owners, employees, and leaders can live out their faith in the public square

This episode invites Christian professionals to move beyond reaction and into rooted, Christ-centered engagement — using their influence not for power, but for blessing.

If you’ve ever wondered how to care deeply about cultural issues without being consumed by them, this conversation is for you.
