The Church's Call to Political Engagement

Send us Fan MailWhat happens when Christians step away from politics? The void doesn't remain empty—it gets filled with worldviews and policies that often contradict biblical values. Frank and Darcie Montgomery tackle this crucial topic head-on, challenging the widespread notion that faith and politics should remain separate.Drawing from both Scripture and American history, the hosts explore how our nation was founded on godly principles, with references to the Divine woven throughout our founding documents, national anthem, Pledge of Allegiance, and currency. They make a compelling case that the current spiritual revival we're witnessing—from campus awakenings to policy shifts—correlates directly with leadership that acknowledges God publicly.The conversation provides practical guidance for believers wondering how to engage civically without compromising their faith. Prayer for all leaders (regardless of party affiliation) forms the foundation, but the Montgomerys push listeners to do more: vote your values, research candidates thoroughly, attend local government meetings, and even consider running for office yourself. They address the reluctance many Christians feel about political involvement, emphasizing that we're not electing pastors but leaders whose policies align with biblical principles.With upcoming election cycles on the horizon, this timely episode serves as both encouragement and challenge. God is in control, working through His people when they engage rather than retreat. The spiritual and moral restoration of America depends not just on who sits in positions of power, but on ordinary believers who pray fervently, vote wisely, and engage consistently in the civic process, bringing godly values into every sphere of influence, including government.
