Biblically Engaging Government to Transform America

We don’t ask churches to get political, but to get biblical, in engaging with government.

America needs another way

America is sprinting away from the heart of God, and our children too often pay the price. But getting political is not the answer. Yelling and shouting at one another won’t fix this. America needs another way.

There is hope

Jesus Christ established the Church as His vehicle for cultural change. And The FAMiLY Leader is empowering the Church at the intersection of faith, family, and government—to transform the heart of America.

Key Partnerships

I’ve personally witnessed the impact of The FAMiLY Leader’s model in Iowa. Elections are impacted, best policies are enacted, and officials are blessed and encouraged when the Church is authentically engaged. I cheer on this proven model, and I hope it is embraced and enacted in every state.

The FAMiLY Leader’s ministry model represents the right, biblical approach to engage the Church and Church leaders. Pastors tell me repeatedly they want nothing to do with policy and politics, but you can’t argue against the model’s principles, aim, and calling.

We are grateful for the opportunities God has given us to minister to and partner with government officials in Indiana. Those conversations have led to ongoing church-state partnerships on key community problems such as foster care, the drug crisis, and mental health. We were also blessed by a number of opportunities to share Scripture with and encourage legislators during an especially tense legislative session.
