Weekly, my wife, Kathy, calls business leaders to ask how our team can pray for them. A common request has become, “Please pray for my son or daughter. They have severed relationships with us over politics.”
A recent survey conducted by The Argument asked if having opposing political views is ever an acceptable reason to cut off contact with a family member?” Although 75% of respondents said “No,” 40% of Kamala Harris voters said, “Yes.”
This severing of relationships over politics is likely impacting workplace relationships as well.
In Matthew 5:43, Jesus said, “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.” (NIV)
Relationships are more important than politics, especially with family.
