COLUMBIA, Miss. — Goss Baptist Church recently celebrated the 20th anniversary of its annual Blessing of the Hunt, an event that has grown significantly since its inception in more than 20 years ago.

There’s a pretty significant vote going on in America. If you’ve been paying attention to the news or scrolling through social media, you know our country is in the thick of another intense political season. In my 68 years, I’ve never seen anything quite like it. Tensions are high, conversations turn heated in seconds, and people seem more divided than ever. As Christians, how do we navigate this? How do we engage wisely and still reflect Christ in such a polarized environment?
