    Supercharging Christian Voting Power

    Welcome to Faith Wins, where faith meets politics in a lively discussion! Jim Brangenberg and Chad Connelly dive into the 2024 Faith Wins mission: supercharging Christian voting power. Beyond elections, they urge Christians to get involved in community activities, making a real impact around them.   Ever wonder what pastors talk about with presidential candidates behind closed doors? Chad gives us a closer look into 78 private meetings where pastors asked presidential candidates the tough questions – about faith, values, and their true intentions. There's hope as more pastors join Chad's initiatives, becoming real game-changers in the political arena. Not only are pastors able to influence their congregations and communities, but they often build lasting relationships with the candidates they meet.  In a nutshell, don't lose hope, folks! Chad's rallying cry is clear: Christians have a unique role in shaping the nation's future. So, let's get voting and make our voices heard! Visit FaithWins.org for more info and remember, faith wins when we step up and take action.

    Do Pastors Matter In Elections?

    In episode 23 of Faith Wins, Jim Brangenberg and Chad Connelly discuss how Pastors mattered in this election, but they matter in EVERY election and in every way for every community in our nation— and NOT just at election time.   Consultants, parties, candidates and campaigns have taken the Christian vote for granted for far too long…Faith Wins has been building a nationwide pastor network— Not for any candidate or party— but to make an impact. We've built a stick and now we're going to swing it. www.FaithWins.org

    The Power of Taking Time for Building Relationship

    In episode 24 of Faith Wins, Chad Connelly and Jim Brangenberg discuss how Pastor and faith leaders are most effective when there is a long term, ongoing, authentic presence of key people building relationships and overcoming the ways most pastors have been treated through political means or organizations. There are no "secrets" to building relationships, they take time and work. Just like your true friendships, people spell authenticity - T-I-M-E… and let's face it, most people, especially political consultants, do not want to take the required time to build those relationships. It is one of the main reason why a political approach will never maximize the impact and influence that pastors can have. www.FaithWins.org

    Relationships are The Life Blood of this Country

    In episode 25 of Faith Wins, Chad Connelly and Jim Brangenberg  discuss how it's all about the Relationships…Faith Wins did 124 signature events in 2024, and were hosted by 25 different conservative denominations in the last cycle, probably unprecedented among evangelical outreach efforts. Chad talks about how he literally had a political person tell him when he ran GOP Faith to "transfer my relationships to the party" to which he laughed. It showed the depth of ignorance to what it takes to earn trust among people who deeply value truth and authenticity and it's exactly why political approaches from parties or orgs always has and always will, fall far short.  www.FaithWins.org

    Why Are Pastors Afraid of Politics?

    In episode 26 of Faith Wins, Chad Connelly and Jim Brangenberg discuss Why Are Pastors Afraid of Politics? Why do pastors shrink from a "political approach?" They are asked by campaigns to endorse their candidate, to stand with their candidate, some are even paid to do those things. Pastors have a higher calling - that calling is to God above and no party nor candidate warrants that type of honor. These are the biggest reasons pastors recoil when asked to be overtly political: a. They've been lied to intentionally by those who seek to keep the church from being influential; b. They've been burned before by political people who have taken advantage of the pastors in their area or state; c. They don't know American history enough to know and grasp the traditional role of the pastor influencer in each community; d. They're genuinely afraid of losing members or money and have lost their focus on Matt 28 admonition to disciple their people; e. They're cowards who would rather not do anything "controversial" and hide behind their pulpits; www.FaithWins.org
