Steady After The Election
from The WallBuilders Show Hosted by Tim Barton, David Barton & Rick Green
The results are in, emotions are high, and a lot of people are asking the same question: what do we do now? We sit down the day after the election to process what happened without letting shock, anger, or despair hijack our faith. If you’re feeling that pit in your stomach or you’re stunned by outcomes that didn’t seem possible, we walk through a steadier way to think and act. We start with three anchors that reframe everything: nothing catches God by surprise, God cares about how we respond to what happens, and God can work even painful events for good (Romans 8:28). From there, we talk election analysis through a biblical worldview and a constitutional perspective. We look at historical patterns, why some narratives will try to spin the results into something they’re not, and why the Texas sweep stands out as a genuine surprise that deserves sober attention and learning, not paralysis. Then we get practical about what may come next in Washington: impeachment chatter, messaging bills designed for veto headlines, increased spending, fights over education, pressure on parental rights, and the likelihood that socialist and progressive voices feel newly validated. We also explain why that “double down” can backfire by creating clearer contrast and waking up more pastors and churches to engage for the long haul. If you want Christian civic engagement that’s grounded, strategic, and hopeful without being naive, this conversation is for you.
