Podcast with Debbie Wuthnow on Christians and Voting

Topic: Christians and Voting.

Does it matter if Christians get out vote and vote our Biblical values? Princeton-trained Debbie Wuthnow is the director of ivoterguide.com, a division of the American Family Association. She writes: “Dr. George Barna and the Cultural Research Center at Arizona Christian University revealed, while 85 percent of likely voters will pull the lever at the top of the ticket, only 55 percent say they will ‘definitely vote’ for offices further down the ballot.” What kind of offices could be neglected by the conservative votes? Wuthnow counts the ways: “District attorneys. Mayors. Judges. County Commissioners. City Council. School board. When we relinquish our votes as Christians, these critical offices are being left to chance or influenced by activist groups. In the process, we inadvertently silence the Christian voice in politics and surrender our values to the unbelieving political culture. If godly people don’t vote, they leave the ungodly to choose for them.” Debbie Wuthnow joins Jerry Newcome to discuss Christians and voting and in the importance of the Midterms. www.ivoterguide.com
