What Every Christian Needs to Know for November 5th
In an electric Sunday service at Trinity Church in Scottsdale, Arizona, Pastor Mark Driscoll called on Christians to step up, pray and make their voices heard in the upcoming election, emphasizing the biblical importance of voting. Driscoll was joined by prominent Christian leaders, including Senate candidate Carrie Lake, Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, worship leader Sean Feucht and Pastor Jack Brewer, each of whom stressed the significance of this election for the future of the nation.
After a Spirit-filled session of praise and worship led by Feucht, Driscoll began by addressing the event that is on the forefront of many American minds: Election Day.

“Voting is not just a civic duty but a biblical one,” Driscoll told the congregation, urging them to elect leaders who uphold Christian values. He reminded attendees that this election is an opportunity for believers to “bring light into the darkness” and encouraged them to reach out to family and friends to ensure they vote.
Kirk spoke about Arizona’s critical role as a swing state, noting that counties like Maricopa could determine the nation’s direction. “This is not the time to sit on the sidelines,” Kirk said. “Our children’s future is at stake.” He called on the congregation to take action by helping others get to the polls, especially since many ballots remain unreturned.
Sharing her own journey through political and personal challenges, Lake reflected on the strength she’s found in her faith. “God put us here at this moment to help save this country,” she said, encouraging believers to rely on God’s purpose through difficult times.
Pastor Brewer addressed the issue of fatherlessness, calling it a pressing concern for both the church and the nation. He encouraged Real Faith Church to invest in young men as future leaders, stressing the church’s role in shaping character and purpose.
“We have a battle on our hands ladies and gentlemen it’s called fatherlessness this nation is the most fatherless nation in the world by far,” Brewer shares. “…We need righteous men of God.”
As each speaker emphasized, the call for Christians to participate in the world around them is rooted in Jesus’ command to be the salt and light of the earth, found in Matthew 5:13-16. This mandate shows us the importance of preserving truth and illuminating righteousness in our culture. Being salt means acting as a preservative against moral decay, while being light calls believers to reflect Jesus’ truth and love in a world shrouded in darkness.
