Liberty requires our participation.

Let’s find out how our faith plays a part in today’s politics

Welcome to Staying Real About Faith & Family. If you’re looking for a community where you can get real about life without resistance, you’re in the right place. I’m Linda Goldfarb. Each week, Heather Greer and I, along with our guests, offer personal insight to encourage transparent living by utilizing a biblical viewpoint with practical applications. Staying Real with the Holy Spirit’s leading is what we’re all about – we pray today’s episode blesses you.

Today’s guest is Bunni Pounds. Bunni is the founder and president of Christians Engaged, which seeks to awaken, educate, and empower Christians to pray, vote, and engage regularly in efforts to improve the nation’s well-being. She was a political consultant for sixteen years, helping several members of Congress run their campaigns in addition to serving more than thirty federal, state, and county candidates through her firm. In 2018, she ran for Congress herself, becoming the only candidate in the nation endorsed by Vice President Mike Pence during that primary season. A graduate of Christ for the Nations and Dallas Baptist University, Pounds loves Jesus and sharing the gospel with anyone who will listen—whether she’s in the halls of Congress or her own hometown. She and her husband, Tim, have been married since 1996 and enjoy spending time with their children and grandchildren.

We’re happy to have Bunni join our conversation about how to Live out Your Faith in a Political Climate.

Here’s what we cover:

Many Christians are skeptical of participating in politics or endorsing a political campaign. Why do you believe that is, and how can we be encouraged that it is okay to be part of this process?

What are some easy ways that people can participate in civic involvement or government that they may not know about?

Today’s Thought Consideration: Never be afraid to vote according to your faith.
