Join us in a conversation with Bunni Pounds, President and Founder of Christians Engaged.
Once again in this election season, we face the struggle of getting the largest bloc of potential voters off their couches and to the polls. Evangelical Christians have the potential of swinging this election, and every election, in whatever way we choose, if we vote!
Too many Christians think that voting for President or other office holder requires the individual to be just a step below Jesus Himself. There has never been a President, even George Washington, who can measure up to the standards that some people expect of their elected officials.
If there is a blemish on their resume, some character flaw or non-Christian act on their record, there are those who will sit in judgment and fold their hands and refuse to support them with their vote, requiring godliness that even they themselves do not possess.
Others, as we were reminded by historian Bill Federer on this past Tuesday’s National Awakening Conference Call, who believe that politics and government are inherently evil, and so spiritual people must refrain from being involved. So, we leave government to the infidels.
Bunni Pounds is the President and Founder of Christians Engaged. She was a political consultant for 16 years, once leading a firm with 32 clients and 9 people in her office. For years she worked with Members of Congress running their campaigns.
She then ran for Congress herself in 2018 becoming the only woman to make the Republican Runoff Ballot in Texas out of 6 open seats and the only person in the US endorsed by Vice President Mike Pence during the 2018 Primary Season.
Though she came up short, God has been using her over 20 years of Christian ministry experience and political experience to lead this national ministry today. Christians Engaged has been in more than 125 churches since its launch and has had thousands across the United States take their pledge to pray, vote, and engage. They have built the only 501(c)3 voter mobilization communication system in the country and are building a comprehensive on-demand video library of curriculum for the Church on civics and biblical worldview topics. Their goal is to reach 1 million Christians by the 2024 general election.
A graduate of Christ for the Nations and Dallas Baptist University, above all Bunni loves Jesus and loves sharing the gospel with anyone who will listen, from the halls of Congress to her own hometown.
Bunni has been married to her husband Tim for 28 years. They have 2 grown sons, both married and 2 precious grandchildren.
If God can use a woman with a political resume for His glory, Bunni says, “He can use anyone.”
