i was listening to a preacher yesterday afternoon urging his congregation to quit obsessing over the news and turn their hearts back to God. he challenged his listeners to do this. to fast from all this worldliness until the end of the month and devote themselves to their Lord.
the context & topic of the sermon was 2 Timothy 2:7 --- "a sound mind"
apparently this preacher has a congregation full of people being consumed by all this partisanship and he believes it beneficial for them to set their minds on Jesus Christ instead of Biden & Trump & McConnel & Pelosi.
maybe you disagree. i think he's right, tho.
here's the sermon give it a listen:

it's not my church, he's not my pastor, i'm not primitive baptist. i just listen to a lot of random sermons.
let me know, my offer will still stand. i'll swear off opening any news sites, scrolling through any social media where i'd be exposed to all that stuff, and do my best to redeem that time & energy to Jesus Christ instead of worldly politics. i'll vow with you to do this for a time period, to bring our hearts and minds closer to God our Father. we will think clearer. we will grow in knowledge of Him. we will be refreshed in Him and blessed. i'll talk to you every day to encourage you and we can pick a topic or book or section of scripture to go over, and i'll write & share my thoughts with you on whatever it is we decide to study. i'll pray for you and with you and after the end of the days we set aside to God, we can go back to whatever political involvement you want to go back to.
please think and pray about it. listen to the sermon, post a reply when you have one so i'll see a notification.
God laid you &
@cv5 on my heart when i was listening yesterday -- so i'm praying for both of you regardless.
@cv5 exactly the same challenge & offer to you. i'll do it with you both.
