Millions of Christians not planning to vote this November, could shape election

The Cultural Research Center at Arizona Christian University study found that approximately 104 million people under the “people of faith” umbrella are not expected to vote this election, including 41 million Christians and 32 million of whom regularly go to church.

Here is a Family Life Newsmaker Interview on the question of why so many people of faith sit out, letting others determine the directions of their government and their culture:

 

 

 

 

A Christian leader, named Chris Leader, is on a 100-day countdown to encourage evangelical Christians to register to vote this fall.

The “separation of church and state” isn’t in the U.S. Constitution, not in that form anyway.  But Chris Leader says many people of faith separate themselves from political and social involvement. His effort “Vote Your Faith” is trying to change that.

In this conversation with Family Life’s Greg Gillispie, Leader explains how some Christians are being intimidated, so they avoid voting, politicking, or even speaking out on the issues in the nation and in the local community. He points to Biblical motivation to get registered, plus how a better turnout of Christian voters could quickly solve many of the current problems in our culture.

Vote Your Faith offers inspiration, resources and tools to help improve the ratio of faithful Christians who participate in campaigns and elections. (Some surveys show that 25 to 33 percent of evangelicals stay away from the polls on Election Day).

 

 

As of the date of this Family Life Newsmaker Interview (9/05/2024), Chris Leader was about one-third of the way through his 100 Day Countdown to November 5th . He posts a new commentary each day.

Here are links to those (soon to be) 100 commentaries and the Vote Your Faith website.

Concerned and compassionate listeners across Pennsylvania and New York want to help with the immediate human needs of many many thousands across six states ravaged by the winds and rain of Hurricane Helene.

In this special report from Family Life’s Sarah Harnisch, you can hear some of the sounds and descriptions of the destruction through some many communities in the southeast U.S. — from larger metro areas, to small towns and cities, to rural areas and mountainside hamlets.

You also will hear the story of one local religious group which is doing something tangible: filling a large trailer with water, food and other supplies. It will be delivered this weekend to western North Carolina, where some of the most widespread damage has happened.

Susan Weaver is coordinating this project for the Riverside Chapel in Salamanca, New York. Hear about her sense of God’s calling to take tangible action for people in deep need.

Family Life Ministries is partnering with this collection of emergency supplies. For our listeners and web visitors in and near the Twin Tiers region, there is an enclosed trailer parked in the Family Life parking area near Bath, New York. 

    • Wednesday, Oct. 2          10 am – 7 pm
    • Thursday, Oct. 3              10 am – 7 pm
    • Friday, Oct. 4                    10 am – 7 pm

Harvest Baptist in Bath NY will be collecting similar items at their church building, from 3 pm to 7 pm, the week of October 7-11.

For those who live or work elsewhere in the Family Life radio region (and who connect with us online from other states), check with your local church or denomination for the most efficient way to make donations).

Separately, Family Life News received information on this other angle of this major ongoing story:

Watch out for scam charity appeals on your phone, computer and other devices

Law enforcement authorities are cautioning people to watch out for telephone and online scams, pretending to seek donations to help in hurricane recovery efforts across the southeastern U.S.

Their advice: If someone calls you — or sends a social media post, text or email — don’t reply right away, and don’t give-up your bank account or credit card numbers. Consumer advocates recommend that you initiate any donation you want to make. Do so through an established organization or your own local church.

Family Life Ministries has posted information about multiple reputable relief organizations on this special page on our website: FamilyLife.org/relief.
