Celebrating 250 Years of God’s Miracles in America: Why Faith Still Wins
As we approach 250 years since America’s founding, it’s impossible not to pause and reflect on the many miracles God has performed to establish and maintain this exceptional nation. The story of this country is more than just names and dates in history textbooks—it’s an ongoing testimony of God’s faithfulness, favor, and power. At the heart of every advancement, in every victory over adversity, and even in moments of deep national crisis, we can see God’s hand guiding and sustaining us.
This article delves into the remarkable testimony and ministry of Chad Connelly, founder of Faith Wins, whose work and faithfulness has helped reinvigorate citizens and pastors alike. Through his leadership, the call for Christians to become involved in the culture and civic life of our country isn’t just a suggestion—it’s an urgent mission. In a time when the challenges facing our nation grow more complicated and the spiritual battle becomes more visible, his message rings clearer than ever: God is not done with America, and our engagement is crucial.
Faith Wins: The Vision Behind the Ministry
Chad Connelly has dedicated his life to not only spreading the Gospel, but also mobilizing the church to action in society and government. He serves alongside other influential Christian leaders—Bob McEwen, David Barton, and Bill Federer among them. Together, they work to inspire believers to take their faith into every sector of public life, including the political arena. Faith Wins isn’t about politics for its own sake, but about defending biblical truth and ensuring the freedoms we hold dear are not lost to apathy or neglect.
To understand Connelly’s mission, you have to look at the reality facing the church today. For too long, many Christians have believed the false narrative that faith and politics must remain separate—that Christian voices do not belong in the halls of government. This idea, however, does not align with Scripture or history. As Connelly himself points out, “If you think government is a dirty business, all the more reason for people of faith to be involved!”
The Spiritual Battle for the Heart of America
The battle for America often plays out on a cultural level, but its roots are deeply spiritual. Attempting to remove God from the public square, from classrooms to courtrooms to Congress, is not just about politics—it’s an assault on truth itself. The widespread belief that Christians should refrain from political involvement only serves the agenda of those opposed to biblical values. When believers withdraw from civic engagement, they inadvertently abandon their responsibility to be salt and light in a dark world.
It’s staggering to think that nearly half of all self-identified evangelicals are not registered to vote—and of those who are, half do not actually vote. This lack of engagement is a vulnerability that the enemy exploits to shift our nation’s direction. As Chad Connelly insists, reclaiming our nation begins with simple obedience: register to vote, encourage your church family to do the same, and then show up and vote according to biblical principles.
Integrating Faith, Family, and Freedom
Chad Connelly’s qualifications are unique. He has experience running for office, chairing state political organizations, and teaching Sunday School for over twenty years. This diverse background equips him to unite the realities of government, church, and culture in a way few others can. Faith Wins operates on a shoestring budget compared to massive political machines, but its impact is multiplied because the motivation is not personal gain—it’s a God-given burden to see believers step into their calling as societal influencers.
The ministry’s strategy is refreshingly simple and personal: meet pastors face-to-face, build trust, and equip them to lead their congregations in civic duty. In just one recent election cycle, Faith Wins facilitated over 124 separate meetings with pastors across the country. These efforts resulted in more than a million new faith voters registered, and over 1,500 believers trained to serve as poll watchers in pivotal states. At a cost of less than $5 per new voter, the effectiveness is clear and undeniable.
The Foundation of America’s Liberty and Purpose
American freedom didn’t come about by accident or random chance. As the Declaration of Independence so beautifully states, “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” At the heart of this declaration is the recognition that we are designed and endowed by a loving, purposeful God. This truth is the bedrock on which our nation was built, and it remains essential for maintaining our liberty.
Time and again throughout history—including the words of Supreme Court Chief Justice Earl Warren in 1954—we see that the Bible and Christian values have guided America’s laws and culture. No teacher, professor, or politician can erase this foundation, though many have tried. Instead of retreating from public life or shrinking back in fear, Christians are called to boldly affirm and uphold these truths, even when it means standing against opposition.
The Challenge and Call to Action for the Church
After 250 years, the complexity of American law can be overwhelming—so much so that it would take 25,000 years to read every official government statute if you read 700 pages a week! Yet, God’s commandments are straightforward and enduring. His moral law changes hearts from within, while man’s law attempts to constrain behavior from without. It’s clear that our country’s unique form of self-government works only when men and women of faith are active and engaged.
Since 2017, Faith Wins has worked with over 19,000 churches, hosting over 7,500 meetings with pastors of all denominations. This broad coalition recognizes that, while there may be disagreements on secondary issues, on foundational truths like religious liberty, life, marriage, and national sovereignty, there must be unity. When Christians link arms and work together, they become an unstoppable force for good.
