Baptist Leadership Warns
The Center for Baptist Leadership posted on October 6 that if Christians don't vote, non-Christians, Communists, Muslims, abortion voters, and LGBT voters will make decisions.
“If Christians don't vote, non-Christians will. If Christians don't vote, Communists will. If Christians don't vote, Muslims will. If Christians don't vote, abortion voters will. If Christians don't vote, LGBT voters will.”
Bunni Pounds' Mission
Bunni Pounds founded Christians Engaged with a three-part mission: encourage Christians to pray, vote, and engage in civic life.
Long-Term Voter Engagement
Pounds aims to build a standing army of Christians ongoing, not just Christians who vote or are marketed to every few years.
900,000 Christians Engaged
Christians Engaged partnered with Family Policy Alliance to engage nearly 900,000 Christians by October 2024.
High Turnout in 2024
92.6% of pledged Christians voted in the 2024 election, while 62% voted in their primaries.
Bunni Pounds' New Bible Plan
Pounds launched Bunni Pounds Ministries and Whole Bible Live to read through the Bible in 24 weeks starting January 1.
Dusty Deevers' Warning
Oklahoma state Sen. Dusty Deevers wrote that if Christians fail to vote, pagans will make decisions.
“If Christians fail to vote, you can be sure the pagans will.”
James Talarico's Campaign
Democratic U.S. Senate nominee James Talarico describes himself as a Presbyterian seminarian with a platform supporting abortion rights, same-sex marriage, and LGBTQ protections.
Talarico's Christian Identity
Talarico claims his faith leads him to oppose Christian nationalism and support separation of church and state.
Undercover Video Scrutiny
Undercover recordings show Talarico supporting transgender children and promising to defend transgender issues in the Senate.
“The way I fought for trans kids in the legislature is the way I will fight for them in the U.S. Senate.”
Rev. Miller's Warning
Rev. Babs Miller warned that Talarico will change his stance once elected.
“I can guarantee you that once he gets elected, he'll change his tune back to where he was.”

Christian voters must decide whether to participate in voting and how carefully to examine candidates' Christian claims.
