In an era where our nation faces deep moral, cultural, and political division, one question rises to the top: Can faith in action save America?
Chad Connelly, Founder and CEO of Faith Wins, joined The Jenny Beth Show to answer that question—not just with conviction, but with proven strategies. His organization is leading a national movement to engage pastors, activate Christians, and encourage Biblical citizenship at every level of government.
In this powerful episode, Chad outlines how Faith Wins is restoring purpose and influence to churches across the country—empowering them to take their rightful place in the civic arena.
Why Christian Voter Turnout Is Critical
Did you know that 40 million evangelical Christians in America don’t vote? Chad calls this a silent crisis with massive implications.
“Every election has consequences,” he says. “But if the people who know the Truth don’t show up and speak it at the ballot box, we leave the future in the hands of those who oppose our values.”
Faith Wins is on a mission to change that. Through grassroots events, church visits, and pastor briefings in all 50 states, Chad and his team are equipping pastors to wake up their congregations—not politically, but Biblically.
Can Churches Really Get Involved in Elections?
One of the biggest myths Chad confronts is the idea that churches can’t touch politics.
That’s simply not true.
“There is nothing in the law that prevents a pastor from preaching the whole counsel of God—including how to live out your faith in the voting booth,” Chad explains.
According to IRS guidelines, churches can:
Register voters
Provide nonpartisan voter guides
Host candidate forums
Educate congregations on Biblical values related to current issues
What they cannot do is endorse a specific candidate as an institution. But as individuals, pastors have the right—just like anyone else—to speak truth, lead, and vote their values.
How to Run a Voter Registration Drive at Your Church
Faith Wins provides free resources and a step-by-step playbook for churches who want to hold a voter registration drive. Here’s a simplified version of Chad’s guidance:
Get Permission from Leadership – Talk to your pastor or church board.
Pick a Sunday – National Voter Registration Sunday is a great time (usually in September).
Set Up a Table – Provide voter registration forms or digital access via tablets or QR codes.
Use the Platform – Ask the pastor to mention it from the pulpit and encourage participation.
Follow Up – Remind people to check their registration and research candidates who align with Biblical values.
The process is easy—and legal. Churches have been doing it for decades, and Faith Wins provides everything needed to do it confidently.
Faith and Freedom Are Not Separate
Some say faith has no place in politics. Chad strongly disagrees.
“Our founding fathers didn’t separate faith and politics. They built this nation on the understanding that our rights come from God, not government,” he explains.
Freedom, according to Chad, is fragile. And if believers aren’t willing to engage, speak truth, and vote with Biblical clarity, we risk losing the liberties that allow us to share the Gospel freely in the first place.
How You Can Get Involved
Chad urges pastors, church leaders, and Christian citizens alike to stop waiting and start moving. Faith Wins is here to walk alongside you:
Invite Chad or a Faith Wins rep to speak at your church or event
Download free voter registration resources
Host a nonpartisan voter guide night
Join or organize a local pastor coalition
“We’re not asking pastors to become political,” Chad says. “We’re asking them to become Biblical—and to lead like the shepherds God called them to be.”
The Time Is Now
This episode of The Jenny Beth Show is more than a conversation—it’s a call to action. If you’re a pastor, a churchgoer, or someone who believes that faith should influence every area of life—including how we vote—now is the time.
