If you are artistic, allow your work to be an expression of the beauty of the gospel. Don’t try to do Christian art. Just be artistic in a way that inspires others to think about truth, feel the love of God, and live in a way that promotes freedom. These are gospel values, and as such, any art that promotes such things is gospel art.
The political arena is a mess. It might be one of the darkest areas on earth. It seems impossible to be a politician without also being a liar, a thief, and a backstabbing jerk.
Which means that due to the corruption in politics, the realm of politics is ripe for the gospel!
In light of the fact that God created work for humans to do and God will have work for us to do in eternity, it only makes sense that we can live now in light of this purpose for our lives. Your job is a great opportunity to reveal the rule and reign of God upon the earth.
