#71: Why Christians Must Run Into The Fire of Politics with Terri Hasdorff

Terri Hasdorff tells us why more Christians must run into the fire of politics like first responders. With 41% of Christians not registered to vote, it is critical for Christian leaders to either get involved or support those called to the mountain of government. Terri's book, Running Into The Fire, was a number one best seller on Amazon for two weeks straight, and we are so excited to hear her rallying call for every Christian. Her passion comes from first-hand experience. In 2020, she ran to represent Alabama's second congressional district in the U.S. House of Representatives. When she didn't win, she went on to lead a Super PAC that supported her. She tells Bobby how God used every experience to prepare her path and how failures opened new doors orchestrated by the Lord - all she had to do was obey. You'll hear how Terri learned that God's plans are bigger than short-term wins. Tune in for a conversation about the direction of America and the role you can play! 

In this episode, you'll hear:

• How God opens unexpected doors when we obey
• How the spiritual warfare in politics is a battle Christians must fight
• The importance of praying through every decision
