Summary

If politics isn't your thing, or you've lost your enthusiasm to vote this year, you REALLY need to tune in! Frank dedicates this podcast episode to focusing on the top three questions Christians must consider regarding "religion and politics" and what history has taught us when Christians disengage from politics and choose not to vote. He also summarizes some of the helpful information you'll find available at VoteYourFaith.net (http://voteyourfaith.net/) by addressing questions and issues like:* What are the consequences when Christians don't vote?* How was Jesus involved in politics, and how does that help us vote?* If a politician can’t save you, why vote at all? (Sorry, but you’ll see why this is a stupid objection!)* Does abortion trump everything else?* Where do both parties stand on "the more important matters of the law"?* Should Christians vote for the most good or the least evil?* What is the Equality Act, and how could it hurt our children, jobs, and religious freedoms?* Why are you not voting for one person?God has used both righteous and unrighteous leaders throughout the Bible to accomplish His good purposes, so get informed, go vote, and leave the results to God!Resources mentioned during the episode:Helpful Resources and Local Voting Guide: http://VoteYourFaith.net (http://voteyourfaith.net/)George Barna on The Charlie Kirk Show: https://apple.co/4eQeAEk (https://apple.co/4eQeAEk)David Daleiden & Planned Parenthood video: https://bit.ly/3BFt6jQ (https://bit.ly/3BFt6jQ)New York Post article on Kamala Harris & Planned Parenthood: https://bit.ly/483XgcC (https://bit.ly/483XgcC)New York Post article on FEMA "Disaster Equity": https://bit.ly/3zT22Nr (https://bit.ly/3zT22Nr)The Heritage Foundation Explains The Equality Act: https://herit.ag/3Y07Z31 (https://herit.ag/3Y07Z31)The Washington Stand: For the 41 Million Christians 'Unlikely' to Vote: https://bit.ly/3BItiPh (https://bit.ly/3BItiPh)

0:00.0	Ladies and gentlemen the gold standard in polling from a Christian perspective anyway the top Christian Christian pollster is George Barna and George
0:16.3	Barna is a bit alarmed right now. He was on the Charlie Kirk show the other day
0:20.2	saying that voter enthusiasm among Christians is way down for this election and he
0:27.8	fears that the voter enthusiasm being low is basically going to hand the election to a Marxist by the name of Kamala Harris.
0:37.6	That's what he has said. And half of Christians right now say they won't vote.
0:45.0	And when they're asked why they won't vote,
