In this clip, Andy Crouch and Curtis Chang push back on the assumption that the answer to a political crisis is some large-scale program we all sign onto before we've been changed ourselves. Andy makes the case that the deeper work is spiritual formation — becoming, one person at a time, someone who actually bears the fruit of the Spirit, with humility as the "pearl of great price." Together they explore why two minutes of headlines a day is plenty and the rest is doomscrolling, what it means to be a "redemptive presence" in your own circle of influence rather than in Washington, and the civil rights movement as the model — the church-basement spiritual disciplines (documented by Charles Marsh) where leaders practiced forgiving and loving their enemies before the marches ever began. The real affliction the church must wrestle with, they suggest, is imperfect spiritual formation.
