Faith Wins

On this episode of Faith Wins, Chad Connelly reports back from more than 110 signature pastor meetings across 19 states since July 15th, alongside former Congressman Bob McEwen, historian David Barton, and Pastor Rob McCoy. With the midterms just days away, Chad shares why he believes this election is less about parties and more about good versus evil, and why pastors are needed now more than ever to cut through the confusion with biblical truth.

Is socialism biblical? Chad Connelly makes the case that socialism starts with a sin of the heart, and why pastors can't stay silent about it.

In a part three of the Faith Wins series on communism and socialism, Chad Connelly opens with four scriptures for a confused culture (Titus 1, 2 Timothy 4, Proverbs 29:2, and Ephesians 5) before tackling the socialism question head-on. From a famous tongue-in-cheek letter about getting paid for "not raising hogs," to Ludwig von Mises, Adam Smith, and Rod Martin's case that Christianity commands capitalism, Chad walks through why the free market rests on willing exchange and why socialism is rooted in covetousness.

In this episode of Faith Wins, Chad Connelly shares a lesson an older pastor drew for him on paper in the 1990s: a simple triangle that explains how America got here. God gave Moses 10 laws; today it would take 25,000 years to read every law in American history. Chad traces how a shared moral code was taught in the home, shaped our laws, and brought peace and prosperity. He also covers how the evangelical vote moved from the Moral Majority to the consultant era, and why Faith Wins believes engagement isn't political, it's biblical.

On this episode of Faith Wins, three pastors reveal what happens inside private, no-media meetings between pastors and political candidates.

Pastor Joey Deese of Oakdale Baptist Church in Rock Hill, South Carolina, Pastor Peter Chamberlin of Concord, New Hampshire, and Pastor Michael Demastus of Fort Des Moines Church of Christ in Iowa join Chad to discuss a different approach to political engagement.

Instead of chasing endorsements, campaign appearances, or photo opportunities, they focus on asking direct questions, praying with candidates, and building relationships that continue after Election Day.

Chad Connelly continues his conversation on socialism, communism, and Marxism, using Proverbs 29:2, 2 Timothy 4:2, Titus 1:15-16, Ephesians 5:15-17, and the story of Esther to build a biblical case for righteous leadership. Along the way: a personal story from Ithaca, NY, a look at Karl Marx and communism's roots in atheism, the history of religious persecution under Stalin, and a comparison of free enterprise and socialism drawn from Kevin Freeman's According to Plan and Rich DeVos's Believe.

In this episode of Faith Wins with Chad Connelly, Chad examines socialism through a biblical worldview. He discusses equality of outcome versus equality of opportunity, Acts 2 and voluntary giving, government coercion, private property, and the Ten Commandments.

Chad also shares the story behind his love of reading and highlights books that shaped his thinking about communism, socialism, Christianity, and free enterprise.

On this episode of Faith Wins, Chad explores one of the most important questions every Christian should ask: what is shaping your worldview? He explains why every belief influences our thoughts, decisions, and actions, and why a biblical worldview is essential for pastors, Christian leaders, and anyone seeking to engage today's culture faithfully.

Chad reflects on his years working alongside campaigns, pastors, and elected officials to explain why so many Christians feel disconnected from public life and why Faith Wins exists to bridge that gap. He shares how those experiences led him to launch Faith Wins, creating opportunities for pastors, elected officials, and civic leaders to build authentic relationships rooted in biblical truth rather than partisan politics.

On this episode of Faith Wins, Chad challenges Christians to move from passive observers to faithful participants in shaping their communities. Looking ahead to the midterm elections, he explains why biblical conviction requires action and why pastors have a unique opportunity to help believers engage today's culture with truth, wisdom, and courage.

Chad explains why he founded Faith Wins after seeing millions of Christians disengage from public life while the culture continued to shift. Turning to Jesus' message to the church in Revelation 3, he asks whether too many believers have become comfortable on the sidelines instead of living as salt and light. From voter registration to biblical discernment, he encourages pastors to equip their congregations to engage faithfully, speak truth with conviction, and help strengthen their communities through biblical leadership.

On this episode of Faith Wins with Chad Connelly, Chad examines one of the foundational questions at the intersection of faith, culture, and government: who belongs on the throne of your life?

Using insights from Francis Schaeffer's A Christian Manifesto, Chad discusses the difference between dependence on God, dependence on self, and dependence on the state. He explores personal responsibility, biblical worldview, government power, and why understanding these ideas is critical for Christians seeking to engage culture with truth and conviction.

On this episode of Faith Wins, Chad shares the South Carolina story that became one of the clearest examples of the Faith Wins approach in action. Rather than focusing on political endorsements or campaign involvement, he explains why the ministry's mission has always been to equip pastors to engage candidates through honest conversations rooted in biblical values.

Chad shares why he believes this model of pastor engagement can be repeated in communities across the country by building relationships, encouraging biblical leadership, and helping Christians participate thoughtfully in the public square.
