When You Feel Politically Homeless

When You Feel Politically Homeless

There’s a quiet strength in leading from the margins. Not from the sidelines of irrelevance—but from the sacred space where clarity resides, far from the noise of theo-political entanglement. For those of us who feel politically homeless—disgusted by the twisted fusion of faith and politics—this isn’t exile. It’s refuge. And from that refuge, we can quietly lead.

I don’t wear red or blue. I don’t subscribe to platforms that hijack scripture or monetize morality. I’ve watched pulpits turn into platforms and preachers become political influencers. And somewhere in that dissonance, I became "alert"—not aligned, not angry, but clear-eyed... Seeing with a kind of vision that actually improves with age. 

I feel politically homeless these days. And political homelessness isn’t confusion; it’s clarity with nowhere to sit. So, you try to lead from the margins, seeing through the fog as best you can and aiming to speak to what’s real. You understand the ache of those who feel unseen and unheard. You don’t need a political party to validate your purpose. You walk in truth, even when it’s inconvenient.

Here's what I’ve learned: There's a large free American audience hungry for honesty and integrity. We must be able to say what others won’t. “I don’t fit in this version of the system—and maybe you don’t either.”

This isn’t about reclaiming power, it’s about redefining it. Because true leadership doesn’t demand allegiance; it invites participation. And real change happens when we empower others to think critically, vote wisely, and live fearlessly.

You don’t need to be "aligned" to be effective. You don’t need to be accepted to have an impact. You just need to be completely alert, wholly available, and solidly anchored.   Be blessed!   ~wcd
