Those who believe that God's Word calls individuals to be the salt light of the earth are required to engage with culture and vote their values. Chad Connelly and Sam Masteller agree that politics can't be bypassed. Christians are dual citizens, spiritual beings living in the natural realm, and entrusted to stand up and speak out for righteousness in a society that is intentionally suppressing Christianity. We are the people who carry the burden to govern and change the nation. Every believer has a responsibility to activate his or her faith and exercise freedoms to protect life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness in each of our communities.
Chad Connelly is well known in political and religious circles around the nation as one of the leading voices on the evangelical faith vote and its impact in America. He is the former Chairman of the South Carolina Republican Party, he was the first-ever national director of Faith Engagement for the Republican National Committee and now runs a 501 C3 called Faith Wins, dedicated to maximizing Christian voices and votes in public arenas. Chad and his family live in Prosperity, SC.
