Trump Won. Now What?

November 14, 2024 - 46 min

A message from Cynthia Garrett: "Our 47th President is Donald Trump. That is a relief to a massive majority of people nationwide. But it’s a terrifying reality to a small minority. Why? There is so much hysteria on social media from those who’ve lost that it’s shocking. I decided to take a moment to speak to all of you because I care about unity! There are so many feelings right now. But remember the beauty of unity. Jesus Christ is still on the throne - no matter how you feel over the results of the 2024 Election. We are all together in this. Let's figure out how we can, as a nation, begin to heal and unite and move forward."Join Cynthia Garrett for a straightforward, level-headed conversation that gives you practical ways you can navigate this crucial time in our nation's history.

To Vote Or Not To Vote. What Would Jesus Do?

October 24, 2024 - 54 min

It has been reported that 32 million Christians are saying they're likely to sit out the 2024 US Election...and, you might be one of them! Maybe you just don't think either candidate is as Godly a leader as you envision. Maybe you don't believe that either side looks like Jesus would look if He were in front of you today. Maybe, you've concluded that Christians should not engage in voting or in politics and just trust God to win in the end. In the entire mudslinging, name calling process called the 2024 US Election things haven’t been graceful or elegant or even nice. But do we as Believers have a civic responsibility to Vote? What would Jesus tell us to do? Join Cynthia Garrett for a scripture-based teaching that explains why Christians have a civic responsibility to vote and look at why some of the key issues in this election are near to God's heart making them a responsibility that should be near to yours. 🙏🏾 Subscribe, Comment, Like, and Leave a Review!
