A new workshop for pastors & church leaders who know there's a better way

The intersection of faith and politics doesn’t have to be messy. The After Party Workshop will give you an on-the-ground, biblically based approach to navigating today’s challenging political environment in a one, two, or three day format.

Have you ever wondered how you can engage in politics in a way that reflects Jesus?

It’s so tempting to focus on (or even argue about!) what policy, party, or candidate is most Christian. But we’ve got our priorities backwards. The real question for us is “How do I relate to others — including those I might disagree with — so that I better reflect Jesus?” Our free course, created by friends Russell Moore, David French, and Curtis Chang, will help you reorient your heart and mind toward a Christ-centered political identity, in 2024 and beyond.

How it works

Our free workshop will help you guide your church through our free video curriculum, including the interactive exercises & discussion questions that help you go deeper through rich conversation and storytelling. The course is designed to help you — and the people you lead — focus less on the "what" of politics — “What policy, party, or candidate is most Christian?” — and more on the "how" of politics so we can ask "How do I relate to others — including those I might disagree with — so that I better reflect Jesus?”

How does the workshop format differ from the individual/small group offering?

The key difference is in the structure of our sessions. While our individual/small group offering was designed with six sessions in mind, the workshop format is designed to be completed in one, two, or three sessions (for example, three Saturdays from 9 am - noon). We envision workshop participants watching the videos on a single, shared screen and periodically breaking into small groups for discussion & reflection over the course of a multi-hour session. In addition, the content in the workshop version is slightly abbreviated (fewer videos, fewer questions/self-reflection exercises) to allow participants to engage with the material over a shorter time frame.

What people are saying

The course teed up some honest and practical discussions about how we can live out Jesus’ way in our city and respond with grace amidst so much negativity. I’ve already recommended it to several people across the political spectrum!

2024 Course Participant

Over the past few years, I’ve come to realize that religion and politics are two areas we need to be able to talk about in our close circles. The course has been a great way to invite friends and family into a learning space.

2024 Course Participant

I have felt so ostracized from people at my church since 2016. I am afraid to interact with people because I was aggressively and unexpectedly attacked after the election in 2016. The After Party has helped me to think through how to express my opinions and interact with people who disagree with me

2024 Course Participant

Like many, I’ve felt politically homeless since 2016. The After Party content has helped to affirm my commitment to pursue a different kind of political engagement in the face of immense pressure toward partisanship.
