Resurrection Sunday reminds us where our ultimate hope is and prayer embraces this true source of hope.

Vote: There are statewide elections in some states this year as well as many school board and other local races. The 2024 elections are also already starting to ramp up. It’s important that we continue our work to educate and mobilize voters. It’s no coincidence that the indictment is coming at the beginning of an important election cycle.

Stand: We cannot let recent events intimidate us into silence or inaction. We must continue to be clear voices for faith, family, freedom, and biblical truth in the culture -- regardless of the opposition we face.

Our country is being divided, and it is incumbent that believers understand the volatile nature of where we stand as a nation and how we can pray and act. That’s why I would also like to invite you join us at our annual Pray Vote Stand Summit in Washington, D.C. on September 15-17 as we focus on these three essential areas. You can join with other like-minded believers as together we discern steps we can take in these unprecedented times.

I believe God is trying to get our attention. With massive tornadoes causing widespread destruction and death, the school shooting in Nashville, a global banking crisis, increased tensions with China, and now the indictment of a former president, we must turn to God and pray for discernment, understanding, and wisdom in how to respond.
