About this listen

Somewhere between the pulpit and the polling booth, many American Christians lost sight of the gospel that once set their hearts on fire. The message that began with love of neighbor has been buried beneath slogans, fear, and division.

In The Gospel and the Ballot: Christ, Not Caesar, writer and spiritual essayist Micah Ellory invites listeners to step away from the noise and remember what Jesus actually taught. Through gentle storytelling and thoughtful reflection, this book explores how faith became entangled with politics, and how it can be set free again.

From the Beatitudes to the parable of the Good Samaritan, from the dangers of nationalism to the quiet courage of empathy, Ellory reminds us that Christianity has always been a movement of love, not control. This is not a book about shame or blame. It is a call to come home to the radical mercy, humility, and truth that still form the heart of the gospel.

Whether you are a lifelong believer, a seeker on the edge, or someone who has felt alienated by the church’s compromises, this book offers a vision of hope: a faith that serves rather than dominates, heals rather than divides, and leads us back to the table where all are welcome.
