As we approach the 2024 election, we know we’re entering yet another season of trial and testing. An abnormally large number of voters are completely dissatisfied with both the major party nominees.
For those who are committed to one or the other party, Election Day is almost seen as Judgment Day for America. We see breathless reporting from our pundits and politicians casting each other as the devil incarnate.
We need a better way forward. The church is that better way.
That’s why we urge believers to embrace Christian Civic Disciplines and to take the pledge against the political violence and animosity we’ve seen engulfing our country.
We’re helping Christians prepare our hearts and minds for the challenges and opportunities ahead.
Opt in to receive the Christian Civic Disciplines and devotionals each month leading up to the election to help you face these pivotal political moments with grace and wisdom.
And please, join us here in Chicago and around the country for our Civic Revival events, created to inform, inspire and empower Christians to become beacons of light during the election year. We’ll release registration information very soon.
Pastors and influencers, if you want to engage your communities in healthy ways, and we know you do, we encourage you to get the tools for those tough political conversations we all know are ahead. We will provide resources and tutorials to assist you with your congregations and platforms.
And pledge $24 for 24. We’ll be doing a lot of travel this presidential year to places around the country, some with existing And Campaign chapters and others looking to jumpstart chapters. So, we need your support to make those events a success.
Partner with us financially to go on the road spreading compassion and conviction. Be an active part of encouraging Christians to abide by Christian principles during the 2024 election.
We can see civic renewal in this country, but it will take all of us doing our part to be the change we want to see this election year.
Join the And Campaign for our virtual Whole Life Ambassador trainings! Our first training will be Tuesday, April 23, from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. CT.
This exciting online event will equip you with the skills and knowledge to become a successful ambassador for the whole life movement.
The Whole Life Project recognizes the importance of protecting the life of the unborn child while valuing the life of the mother by addressing issues like maternal mortality, poverty wages, and expanding access to healthcare and affordable high-quality childcare.
