Special Election Day FOT with Greg Baker of The Family Leader: How to put our civic duties into a Christian perspective



By the end of Tuesday most of the shouting and electioneering will be over and we’ll be able to welcome our new president and civic leaders. Some with be happy with the choices, others will not. But God will still reign and it will be a time to turn from our partisan differences to our dependence on our Heavenly Father; and we do that by recognizing our true civic duties as Christians. 

Greg Baker

Once again we are having a special program devoted to healing our nation with a prominent member of The Family Leader’s staff, Greg Baker, Executive Director of TFL Ambassador Network.

Greg is a 2009 graduate of the University of Iowa. His inspiration to make a difference through politics began early in high school years. His passion stemmed from the strategy necessary to pass legislation and to win elections. This passion fueled him to the position of State Chairman for The College Republican of the State of Iowa.

Greg’s pursuit in politics took a radical turn through his acceptance of Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior. His focus took a sharp turn from self to the pursuit of God’s righteousness in the civic arena. Greg’s spiritual journey and maturation meshed with The Family Leader’s needs in July of 2011. Greg is charged with developing a dynamic network of Churches and Believers throughout Iowa to impact The Family Leader’s policy, election and mission goals.

So join Greg as he joins Deacon Mike Manno and Gina Noll to discuss how we as Christians can “survive” the election by doing honor to God and to our country.

“If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.”
