About

Welcome, we’re glad you’re here

Christianity, at its core, is about love of neighbor. But what does that mean in our increasingly divisive country? 

Slick commercials tell us, “He gets us.” T-shirts and coffee mugs are ablaze with calls to “Be Blessed” and “Be Kind.”  But when Jesus’ empathy is replaced with fear and disdain, the real question is, Do we get him? 

To ignite the kind of empathy Jesus exemplified, the empathy that treated everyone equally, we need some Good Gospel Guidance.

THE FAITHFUL VOTER PROJECT does its best to cut through the slogans and bluster, and tap into a wide range of sources and expertise, to harness thoughtful and accessible modern Christian theology. We focus on 12 pressing issues that are pulling people apart. 

Because we believe most Christians want to make informed choices that help and protect all families, all faiths, and all futures, not just their own, we think THE FAITHFUL VOTER PROJECT can help.

We begin with some sage advice. Walter Brueggemann is one of the world’s most influential Bible scholars. He says the Bible contains many lessons and we are meant to take away the best of its wisdom. But it also contains all sorts of voices contrary to the Gospel message of love, mercy, and justice. A purely literal interpretation, warns Brueggemann, “is a dangerous threat to the faith of the church.”

THE FAITHFUL VOTER PROJECT explores 12 issues through a modern Christian values lens: climate change, immigration, reproductive health, Christian nationalism, economy, patriarchy, race, guns, LGBTQ+, foreign aid, empathy, patriarchy, and leadership. Be sure to check out our special resources to help you explore your thoughts, know your rights, and move from faith to action on your terms.
