Trump and The Reformation of America’s Government
We do have one warning! Christians must not conclude that their work is done. The battle to save and preserve our country as “one nation under God” will continue to rage. We urge you to pray for the safety of President-elect Trump and his team. We also implore pastors and church leaders to boldly lead their flocks into the public square and stand firm for faith, family, and freedom.

Decision Made: Stay Engaged
In this final episode of the Countdown to Decision 2024, JDFI contributors Alison Centofante and Joseph Backholm join Gary Bauer, senior vice president of public policy for JDFI, to discuss the ramifications of the election, the impact of the Countdown campaign, and what these things mean for our nation and the Christian church. Please watch and share as we seek to encourage Christians to continue putting their faith into action and engaging in the public square. This is not a time for Christ's followers to withdraw from cultural and policy issues. Instead, they should actively seek to influence such matters on behalf of Christ. For up-to-date information addressing these concerns, we encourage you to sign up for Gary's weekly policy updates.

Elections Matter!
Our countdown to the election is over, and the results are in. As you know, this tumultuous election year ended on November 5 with a resounding victory for the Trump-Vance ticket over Harris-Walz.
The final Electoral College count was 312 to 226, and Trump is now winning the popular vote by more than 3.2 million. No Republican president has accomplished this since 2004. In addition, he enjoys a clear majority in the US Senate and a likely narrow majority in the House of Representatives.

Dream Big Again
JDFI congratulates President-elect Donald J. Trump on his remarkable comeback victory last night. He not only won an Electoral College majority but appears to have won the popular vote as well.
· Trump effectively put together a multi-racial, multi-ethnic coalition that rejects the racial identity politics that has been used by the neo-Marxist left to divide our country.
· President-elect Trump reiterated last night that he believes God saved him from the assassin’s bullet because He has something He wants Trump to do. The president-elect believes God wants him to unite the country, heal our divisions, and restore the American dream. To do that, Christians must continue to engage the culture and the public square.
· Over the next four years, the freedom of speech and religion will be strengthened rather than undermined. Parental rights will be defended, and the U.S./Israel alliance will be strengthened.
We thank every Christian citizen who voted. Without your participation, the country would be in a very different situation this morning. JDFI is also pleased President Trump will work with a friendly Senate next year. Let’s pray that conservative policies will proliferate.
But the news is not all good.

A Prayer for Our Nation
Across our nation today, ballots will be cast to determine the 47th President of the United States. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Kirk Cameron asks the question, “What if this current cultural setback is really a divine set up for a spiritual comeback led by the family of faith?” He encourages Christians to stay in the fight for righteousness, but also reminds us that change begins in our homes, not the White House. 1 Thessalonians 5:7 says, “Pray without ceasing.” Join us in prayer as the election outcome will determine the trajectory of the next four years and beyond.

Protect Biblical Values
On today’s edition Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson stresses the importance of Christians casting their vote for the upcoming presidential election, not based on personality, but on biblical values. In addition, the Hon. Michele Bachmann, a former congresswoman and presidential candidate, urges Christians to be aware of the weight their vote has on this election. 2 Chronicles 7:14 declares, “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.”
