You’ve probably heard the saying that “politics is downstream from culture.” I agree but would add that culture is downstream from morality, which in turn is downstream from spirituality. That’s why my own emphasis is spiritual first, then moral, then cultural, then political.
That focus is why I started preaching in 1973 (at the age of 18) but didn’t become a talk radio host, addressing cultural and political issues, until 2008 (at the age of 53). I didn’t start writing regular op-ed pieces on culture and politics until 2012. Despite publishing roughly 2,500 op-eds since then, I do not fashion myself a conservative commentator. And I am certainly not a political pundit.
