The battle for the soul of our nation is not figurative. It is real. It is relentless. It is as fierce as the battle for our own souls and is being orchestrated by the same principalities of darkness. The Jethro Project serves as a national impetus for Christian engagement in American politics and highlights the urgency with which believers must fight the culture war being waged in our states and communities by serving across the full political spectrum. This approach is modeled on a biblical passage in Exodus chapter 18, where Jethro, Moses's father-in-law, instructs Moses on the most effective way to lead the Israelites after the Exodus-by implementing a representative construct of governance composed of honorable and wise leaders. Author Scott Jenkins explores the merit of our biblically based representative government, the Christian influence that drove our founding in 1776, the true constitutional design and intent of the First Amendment regarding the relationship between church and state, the manner in which America has strayed from these fundamental principles to our own detriment, and the need to return to the original intent of our Founders who established this one nation under God. This commentary presents a call to action for Christians to come to the defense of their God-given liberties and secure the freedoms won for them by the patriots of 1776 through active participation in local, state, and national politics.
