    Standing on the Word | Tony Perkins & Bunni Pounds

    This conversation is the heart behind Christians Engaged. In one of the most personal episodes we’ve ever recorded, Bunni Pounds and Tony Perkins reflect on why believers must be grounded in the Word of God before anything else — before politics, policy, or cultural influence. Christians Engaged was founded on this conviction: discipleship must come before civic engagement, and lasting transformation only happens when believers know and live the truth of Scripture. Tony shares his testimony, the cost of standing for life and truth, and why the future of our nation depends on Christians who are willing to stand firmly on the Word of God. This is a deeply reverent conversation about faithfulness, courage, family, spiritual warfare, and the calling on the Church in this generation. Connect with us at ChristiansEngaged.org.
