Engagement for Family Policy Alliance and Family Policy Alliance Foundation – founded by Dr. James Dobson. She is the author of Jesus and Politics: One Woman’s Walk with God in a Mudslinging Profession that came out nationally February 2024.

She then ran for Congress herself in 2018 becoming the only woman to make the Republican Runoff Ballot in Texas out of 6 open seats. It was after this race that God called her to start mobilizing the Church.

Though she came up short - God has been using her over 20 years of Christian ministry experience and political experience to lead this national ministry today. Christians Engaged has over 250,000 Christians in their voter mobilization communication system reaching all 50 states, and has had over 2,000 Christians take one of their long form classes on civics and biblical worldview. Their goal is to grow toward engaging 1 million Christians by the 2024 general election.

Book Cover - Jesus and Politics
Jesus and Politics: One Woman's Walk with God in a Mudslinging Profession
The Christian life isn’t about doing things the easy way—it’s about living as Christ even in a hostile environment. After reading this book, you will understand how God wants to use Christians to change the world and how you can walk with the Holy Spirit no matter what call He places on your life. Using her sixteen-year political career as a backdrop, Bunni Pounds gives readers practical tools for discipling a nation one heart at a time and living the Christian life extravagantly, even in a hostile environment. In Jesus and Politics, Pounds lays out the importance of Christians engaging in politics, government, and other spheres of influence to impact systems and individuals. Sharing her divine appointments and unlikely interactions with prominent figures, Pounds gives readers a front-row seat to: Witness the power of prayer as she supported a congressman through a terminal cancer diagnosis during a national campaign. Discover how a word from God on an airplane shifted a lawmaker into a new, more influential prominent position. Learn how she set her heart free from bitterness and unforgiveness after a million-dollar congressional race by paying off her opponent's debt. See how a dream about a congressman from the other side of the political aisle led to an ongoing ministry relationship that has transcended their political differences. But this is more than a book of stories. Jesus and Politics is a book about Jesus that equips readers to: Cultivate intimacy with Jesus, even in a hostile culture and amid life's pressures. Effectively share the gospel, disciple others, and stand up for truth in various settings. Engage in politics and various spheres of government to protect liberty in America. Reminding readers that our liberty requires our participation, Jesus and Politics is an indispensable resource for those seeking to make a lasting impact for Christ and embark on a transformative journey to live out their destiny, preserve America, and make a difference for eternity.

Book Cover - The Anxiety Opportunity
The Anxiety Opportunity: How Worry Is the Doorway to Your Best Self
Curtis Chang knows what it's like to view anxiety as a sin to overcome. He also knows how trying to get rid of anxiety through sheer faith or willpower usually leads to feelings of shame and frustration. After losing his job as a pastor due to debilitating anxiety, Curtis began the process of healing his heart. Combining years of personal experience, spiritual practice, and biblical study, Curtis discovered an alternative approach--one that sees anxiety as the path to our best selves in Christ.
Book Cover - The After Party
The After Party: Toward Better Christian Politics
For the exhausted, the hurting, and the faithful, The After Party helps reframe our political identity away from the "what" of political positions and toward the "how" being centered on Jesus.

This paradigm-shifting book complements The After Party Project--a six-part, video-based, highly interactive curriculum that provides churches, small groups, and individuals with an on-the-ground, biblically based approach to a very complex topic.

The After Party
We need to radically recenter on Jesus.

Christians have lost their way when it comes to the intersection of faith & politics. It’s time to reframe our political identity as we take the lead in healing what’s broken. Jesus’ call is clear: We are to be salt and light in this world. Come be equipped and encouraged as we prepare for the true party to come. We’ve saved a seat for you!
