Overview

A documentary film directed by Ryan Patch, For Love of Neighbor: Politics for the Common Good tells the stories of three individuals—Sen. Tim Scott, Justin Giboney, and Sarah Imboden—who, on different levels and in distinct ways, are seeking to engage faithfully in contemporary American politics.

The film does not provide specific answers for how Christians should engage in politics: prescribing who they should vote for or what specific policies they should support. Instead, it explores foundational questions about the purpose (and limits) of politics and the proper Christian posture toward government and secular society. Ultimately, the film aims to spark further discussion and offer a hopeful vision for Christian participation in contemporary public life.

Film Excerpt: Searching for a Savior

JOHN KYLE, THE FELLOWS INITIATIVE

This film is a wonderful reminder of our call to love, serve, and cultivate flourishing through politics and government, in spite of… or rather, because of... the layers of brokenness we find there.

MATTHEW BECKLO, ALETEIA

[A] breath of fresh air for Christians and non-Christians alike. Those looking for a clear cut ideological stance will be disappointed; instead, "For Love of Neighbor" quietly but resolutely seeks to buck the trend of division, recovering a broad and hopeful sense of spiritual reflection, social civility, and public service...

ABILENE CHRISTIAN UNIVERSITY STUDENT

This film is a peace-making mechanism for a polarized campus.

DREW TROTTER, CONSORTIUM OF CHRISTIAN STUDY CENTERS

This is a superb tool, encouraging us both in whether, how, and when to be politically engaged and in avoiding the pitfalls so many experience in our present cultural climate. A thoroughly arresting, yet thoughtful, film.

DENVER SEMINARY STUDENT

The film isn't about selling a specific party or twisting anything for an agenda. Instead, it calls Christians to care about the people around us in a way that tangibly impacts our neighbor.

VANGUARD UNIVERSITY STUDENT

I was inspired by the relatable experiences of Sarah Imboden, which show that the actions we take in local politics are just as important as those made in other levels of politics.
